Abstract
Background: In the United States, diabetes is considered an epidemic, and minority populations, i.e., African Americans, Hispanic/ Latino Americans, Asian Americans, and Indigenous people, are at higher risk for developing diabetes than their White counterparts. Since there is no cure for diabetes, effective self-management with a particular focus on healthy eating, being active, and medication is an essential aspect of living a healthy life with diabetes. Self-management requires navigating challenges, such as accessing healthy foods, supplies, and safe places to exercise. Although there have been many improvements with diabetes self-management tools, lifestyle modifications are still challenging to initiate and maintain, and diabetes self-management is particularly difficult for under-resourced populations.
Purpose: This project aimed to develop educational content for a mobile application to support self-management amongst those living with diabetes who attend the Diabetes Center of Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta’s inner-city safety-net hospital. The goal was to identify priority topics across different diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) curricula and develop sample educational quiz questions for two of the seven key behaviors: healthy eating and being active.
Methods: The educational content was developed based on six diabetes self-management curricula. The six selected curricula allowed us to understand the priority topics across healthy eating and being active, defined as those which all curricula included. In addition, sample quiz questions were developed for the learning objectives common to the six DSMES curricula reviewed.
Results: The creation of the sample quiz questions targeted learning objectives common across the six curricula, along with supplementary ones, included due to their importance despite not appearing in all reviewed curricula. In addition, sample feedback was developed for all quiz answer options to encourage information retention and skills-building.
Conclusion: This special studies project identified topics that were most commonly addressed across six different DSMES curricula for two key behaviors. The sample quiz questions can serve as a foundation for developing a more comprehensive DSMES quiz on all seven critical behaviors for a mobile application to educate, motivate, and empower individuals to understand and self-manage diabetes and improve their quality of life.
