To determine the effects of a primary diabetes prevention programme created for healthy young adults.
Design:
This study was a non-randomized controlled trial.
Methods:
The participants were 20-39-year-old employees of two automobile sales companies. The intervention group (N = 154) received six original educational brochures and films created specifically for young adults, while the control group (N = 157) received none. Data were collected pre-intervention and immediately after and 10 weeks after intervention. Change in knowledge about diabetes, its prevention and health management were measured.
Results:
Overall, 129 interventions and 141 controls completed the trial. In items related to diabetes prevention, the intervention group increased their knowledge relative to controls (all p < .05). Awareness of susceptibility to diabetes also increased more in the interventions (p = .029). The interventions also improved more with items related to dietary behaviour (p < .05). This trial has been registered with UMIN-CTR clinical trial (UMIN000023749).
