2.2.3. DVD/IVR group
diabetes
PRE-DIABETES, DIABETES
This group was identical to the Class/IVR group but was initiated with a DVD that replicated the class content. The DVD included the following segments: (1) What is pre-diabetes? (2) What are the risk factors for diabetes? (3) Developing your DiaBEAT-it action plan, (4) Goal setting for physical activity and healthy eating, (5) putting together a toolbox of resources, and (6) making a commitment to change. The DVD was about 60 min in duration with several planned pauses to allow for completion of activities. This replicated the 5 A's approach that guided the class and included the completion of an action plan page in the accompanying workbook. Finally, the DVD included an appendix with additional free-of-charge, online nutrition and physical activity informational videos. Participants received their live counseling call within 7 days of being given the DVD. Similar to the Class/IVR group, those participants that reported not watching the DVD the research assistants provided full information and guided them through developing their personal action plan during the “Live” call. The IVR structure and content was the same as described above.
