- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Healthy Food Servings by the Nourishing the Community Through Culinary Medicine survey (NCCM) Baseline, post intervention (upto 10 weeks after baseline) This consists of 3 items that are scored from 1 \[None\] to 6 \[4 servings or more\] for a maximum score of 18, a higher number indicating a better outcome.
Change in cooking self-efficacy by the Nourishing the Community Through Culinary Medicine survey (NCCM) Baseline, post intervention (upto 10 weeks after baseline) This consists of 10 items that are scored from 1 \[Not sure at all\] to 5 \[Extremely sure\], for a maximum of 50, with a higher number indicating more self-efficacy. Five items ask about self-efficacy before the program, and five ask about self-efficacy after the program.
Change in Diabetes Management by the Nourishing the Community Through Culinary Medicine survey (NCCM) Baseline, post intervention (upto 10 weeks after baseline) This consists of 18 items. The first 16 items that are scored from 1 \[Does not apply to me\] to 4 \[Applies to me very much\] and the remaining 2 items are dichotomous scored \[Yes=1\] to \[No=0\], for a maximum score of 68, with a higher number indicates a better diabetes self-management.
Change in Typical food consumption behaviors by the Nourishing the Community Through Culinary Medicine survey (NCCM) Baseline, post intervention (upto 10 weeks after baseline) This consists of 7 items that are scored from 1 \[Not at all\] to 5 \[More than once a day\] for a maximum score of 35, a higher number indicating better outcome.
Change in Shopping, cooking, and eating behaviors by the Nourishing the Community Through Culinary Medicine survey (NCCM) Baseline, post intervention (upto 10 weeks after baseline) This consists of 9 items that are scored from 1 \[Never\] to 5 \[Always\], for a maximum score of 45, with a higher number indicating more ideal shopping, cooking and eating behaviors that align with program goals.
Change in Perceived Barriers to Healthy Eating by the Nourishing the Community Through Culinary Medicine survey (NCCM) Baseline, post intervention (upto 10 weeks after baseline) This consists of 9 items that are scored from 1 \[Strongly Disagree\] to 5 \[Strongly Agree\] for a maximum score of 45, a higher number indicating more perceived barriers.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
