Assessment of a National Diabetes Education Program diabetes prevention toolkit: The D2d experience.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The National Diabetes Education Program created the Small Steps. Big Rewards. GAME PLAN. toolkit to deliver basic type 2 diabetes prevention information to individuals at risk. The purpose of this study is to test the impact of GAME PLAN on diabetes prevention knowledge and behavioral readiness in the vitamin D and type 2 diabetes (D2d) study and participant satisfaction with toolkit materials. METHODS:Three hundred sixty adults at risk for diabetes participating in the D2d study were enrolled. Participants took a pretest, were sent home with the GAME PLAN, then took a posttest at their next visit, 3 months later. The Wilcoxon-signed rank test was used to examine changes in knowledge and behavioral readiness between scale scores pre- and posttest. CONCLUSIONS:There were modest increases in composite diabetes prevention knowledge scores (p < .05) and behavioral readiness scores (p < .001) from pre- to posttest. Participants also reported at posttest that the toolkit materials were appropriate, comprehensive, and relevant. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE:The GAME PLAN health education materials improve knowledge and behavioral readiness among adults at risk for diabetes. Providers can use GAME PLAN as one component of diabetes prevention education.
