Somalis, particularly women, have high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). We designed and piloted a culturally tailored lifestyle intervention model to prevent T2D among Somalis.
The pilot was designed using the JA CHRODIS Recommendations and Criteria, with special emphasis on target group empowerment. Intervention consisting of risk identification and group and digital lifestyle counselling was created based on the existing Stop Diabetes-model. The 12-week intervention was conducted in the mosque.
Of those at T2D risk, 24 participants (73%) agreed to participate in the lifestyle counselling. Mean participation rate in the group sessions was 50% and 76% of the participants used the mobile application. A statistically significant increase in vegetable intake was seen after the intervention. A non-significant increasing tendency was seen in all parameters of physical activity. All respondents considered counselling meetings very useful or useful.
The piloted model proved to be feasible in providing prevention interventions to an underserved population group. Key success factor was active involvement of the target community.
索马里人，尤其是妇女，患 2 型糖尿病（T2D）的风险很高。我们设计并试行一种文化上量身定制的生活方式干预模式，以预防索马里人中的 T2D。
该试验采用 JA CHRODIS 建议和标准设计，特别强调目标群体赋权。干预措施包括风险识别以及团体和数字生活方式咨询，基于现有的“阻止糖尿病”模式制定。为期 12 周的干预在清真寺进行。
在有 T2D 风险的人群中，有 24 名参与者（73%）同意参加生活方式咨询。小组会议的平均参与率为 50%，76%的参与者使用了移动应用程序。干预后蔬菜摄入量有统计学意义的增加。所有参数的体力活动均呈增加趋势，但无统计学意义。所有受访者均认为咨询会议非常有用或有用。
试行模式证明在向服务不足的人群群体提供预防干预措施方面是可行的。关键的成功因素是目标社区的积极参与。
