This study surveyed 152 Caribbean-American women about their acculturation levels; their health behaviors; and their perceptions about a website portal for diabetes prevention and management. Participants followed a study link to documents created via SurveyMonkey. The study link included seven edited videos each fewer than 2 min; the videos included ingredients; preparation/cooking instructions; and plating tips for modifying traditional Caribbean meals for diabetes management and prevention. Overall engagement in six healthy living behaviors was moderate Mean = 2.07; Minimum = 1 (Never); Maximum = 3.0 (Always). Self-efficacy for cooking 'healthy' before exploring the website was a mean 3.52 between 40 and 60% confident (SD = 1.509) versus the after Mean of 4.59 closest to 80% confident (SD = 1.154); t = - 10.353, df = 147 (P < 0.001). The results suggest the website did serve as a brief intervention for increasing self-efficacy in cooking meals more consistent with diabetes prevention and management.
本研究对152名加勒比裔美国女性进行了调查，内容涉及她们的文化适应程度、健康行为以及对一个糖尿病预防与管理网站门户的看法。参与者通过一个研究链接访问由SurveyMonkey创建的文档。该研究链接包含七个编辑视频，每个视频时长均少于2分钟；这些视频包括食材、准备/烹饪说明以及为糖尿病管理和预防而调整传统加勒比美食的摆盘小贴士。六项健康生活行为的总体参与程度适中（均值 = 2.07；最小值 = 1（从不）；最大值 = 3.0（总是））。在浏览该网站之前，烹饪“健康”食物的自我效能感平均为3.52（40%至60%的自信度，标准差 = 1.509），而浏览之后的均值为4.59（最接近80%的自信度，标准差 = 1.154）；t = -10.353，自由度 = 147（P < 0.001）。结果表明，该网站确实起到了简短干预的作用，提高了烹饪更符合糖尿病预防和管理要求的膳食的自我效能感。
