The All One Community (A1C) Program Boosts Diabetes Outcomes in Under-Engaged Asian Immigrants Through Culturally
None:
The All One Community (A1C) program addresses chronic disease among immigrant populations, specifically South Asian, Arab, and Rohingya groups in Greater Chicago. The program offers culturally and linguistically tailored type 2 diabetes education, incorporating social support from family or friends. Participants (n=247) provided biometric data at baseline and during community screenings at 3, 6, and 9 months. Of the 199 participants completing at least 10 sessions, 91 had diabetes (HbA1C ≥ 6.5). Significant improvements in blood pressure (p=0.025) and body mass index (BMI, p=0.015) were observed. Diabetic participants with a social support partner experienced greater BMI reductions (p<0.05). Uninsured participants showed more significant improvements in systolic blood pressure (p=0.02) and cholesterol (p=0.04) than those with insurance. The findings suggest that social support and targeted interventions can improve diabetes management in uninsured immigrants at higher health risk.
