The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of video-based diabetes education combined with community health worker support in improving health outcomes for Chinese immigrants with Type 2 diabetes.
Conduct a 12-month, 3-arm randomized controlled trial with 405 Chinese immigrants with Type 2 diabetes.
Participants will be assigned to receive either video-based education with community health worker support, video-only, or wait-list control.
Assess primary and secondary outcomes related to diabetes management, including changes in HbA1c.
The primary outcome is the change in HbA1c at 6 months, with secondary measures at both 6 and 12 months.
Expected improvements in self-efficacy, dietary intake, and overall physical activity are also being investigated.
