Adaptions to the National Diabetes Prevention Programme lifestyle change curriculum by Hawai'i Federally Qualified Health Centers: a qualitative descriptive study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:The objective of this qualitative study was to describe the community-appropriate and culturally appropriate adaptations made by lifestyle change programme (LCP) coaches to the National Diabetes Prevention Programme curriculum for Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) patients in Hawai'i, an ethnically diverse state with a high proportion of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:We used a qualitative descriptive approach. First, we conducted a document review of existing programmatic notes and materials followed by video interview calls with 13 lifestyle coaches at 7 FQHCs implementing in-person LCPs. Lifestyle coaches catalogued, described and explained the rationale for adaptations. The research team counted adaptations if they met a specific adaptation definition derived from several sources. Community and cultural relevancy of adaptations were analysed using an existing framework for weight loss and diabetes prevention for NHPIs. RESULTS:The average number of adaptations per FQHC was 8.61 (range: 4-16). Adaptations fell into 11 broad categories such as off-site community field trips, food-related and nutrition-related activities, and physical activity opportunities. Novel adaptations included goal setting with motivational interviewing and dyadic recruitment. Field trips and in-class food demonstrations addressed the most constructs related to weight loss and diabetes prevention for NHPI, including social and community barriers, familial barriers and barriers to self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS:Lifestyle coaches were culturally attuned to the needs of LCP participants, particularly from NHPI communities. Policy-makers should recognise the extra work that LCP coaches do in order to increase enrollment and retention in these types of programmes.

Project description:IntroductionFederally Qualified Health Centers serve 29.8 million low-income patients across the U.S., many of whom have unaddressed social risks. In 2019, for the first time, data on social risk screening capabilities were collected from every U.S. Federally Qualified Health Center. The objectives of this study were to describe the national rates of social risk screening capabilities across Federally Qualified Health Centers, identify organizational predictors of screening, and assess between-state heterogeneity.MethodsUsing a 100% sample of U.S. Federally Qualified Health Centers (N=1,384, representing 29.8 million patients) from the 2019 Uniform Data System, the primary outcome was whether a Federally Qualified Health Center collected data on patients' social risk factors (yes/no). Summary statistics on the rates of social risk screening capabilities were generated in aggregate and by state. Linear probability models were then used to estimate the relationship between the probability of social risk screening and 7 key Federally Qualified Health Center characteristics (e.g., Federally Qualified Health Center size, Medicaid MCO contract, Medicaid accountable care organization presence). Data were analyzed in 2020‒2021.ResultsMost (71%) Federally Qualified Health Centers collected social risk data, with a between-state variation. The most common screener was the Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients' Assets Risks and Experiences (43% of Federally Qualified Health Centers that screened), whereas 22% collected social risk data using a nonstandardized screener. After adjusting for other characteristics, Federally Qualified Health Centers with social risk screening capabilities served more total patients, were more likely to be located in a state with a Medicaid accountable care organization, and were less likely to have an MCO contract.ConclusionsThere has been widespread adoption of social risk screening tools across U.S. Federally Qualified Health Centers, but between-state disparities exist. Targeting social risk screening resources to smaller Federally Qualified Health Centers may increase the adoption of screening tools.
