One of five Salt Lake County residents identify as Hispanic/Latino(H/L) and are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes(T2D) compared to non-Hispanic whites. Evidence-based interventions to reduce T2D have not been as effective for H/Ls as for non-H/L whites. This study uses a shared-leadership, community-engaged approach to develop a model for H/L T2D prevention based on DPP with members of the H/L community, community-based organization partners (Utah Mexican Consulate; University Neighborhood Partners), and an interdisciplinary University of Utah team. Two groups of 10-15 people each (one for community members (CM) eligible to participate in a diabetes prevention program; one for community organization members(CBO) potential DPP-like program implementers). As part of a comprehensive participatory planning and evaluation(CPPE) process, each group met to (1)review existing Spanish DPP program components, learning objectives, and materials, (2)identify barriers to successful T2D prevention, and (3)suggest facilitators and areas for adaptation specific to H/L audiences. Participants in each group rated the DPP program structure and content related to healthy eating, increasing physical activity (PA), self-monitoring and meal planning using validated measures of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. In addition, qualitative data was gathered and reduced to provide directions for potential adaptations. Quantitative data (Figure 1) indicates CM and CBO agree on importance of DPP program structure and content, however CBO members rated the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility more neutrally than CM participants. Qualitative data indicated a stronger focus on collective support, culturally aligned healthful eating options, and PA promotion that addressed safe activities for laborers. Conclusions CM and CBO participants found DPP to be an important resource for the H/L community, but also identified adaptations that could improve program reach, retention, and effectiveness.
