Summary
Study start date: September 1, 2023
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.The study focuses on improving the management of type 1 diabetes among at-risk youth by using a program called Diabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE). This program is specially designed to help young people and their families learn about healthy cooking and eating habits. It aims to address and reduce the differences in diabetes care and health outcomes that can be seen among different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. By teaching culinary skills, the program hopes to provide these young people with better tools and knowledge to manage their condition effectively. Participants in this study will engage in family and community-based culinary education sessions. Through these sessions, they will learn how to prepare meals that support their diabetes management. The study will measure how well this program helps improve the participants' ability to manage their diabetes, although specific outcomes being measured are not detailed. The goal is to see if this approach can lead to better health results for these youths by empowering them with practical skills and knowledge.
