BackgroundThe Stanford Youth Diabetes Coaches Program (SYDCP) is a school based health program in which Family Medicine residents train healthy at-risk adolescents to become diabetes self-management coaches for family members with diabetes. This study evaluates the impact of the SYDCP when disseminated to remote sites. Additionally, this study aims to assess perceived benefit of enhanced curriculum.MethodsFrom 2012–2015, 10 high schools and one summer camp in the US and Canada and five residency programs were selected to participate. Physicians and other health providers implemented the SYDCP with racial/ethnic-minority students from low-income communities. Student coaches completed pre- and posttest surveys which included knowledge, health behavior, and psychosocial asset questions (i.e., worth and resilience), as well as open-ended feedback questions. T-test pre-post comparisons were used to determine differences in knowledge and psychosocial assets, and open and axial coding methods were used to analyze qualitative data.ResultsA total of 216 participating high school students completed both pre-and posttests, and 96 nonparticipating students also completed pre- and posttests. Student coaches improved from pre- to posttest significantly on knowledge (p<0.005 in 2012–13, 2014 camp, and 2014–15); worth (p<0.1 in 2014–15); problem solving (p<0.005 in 2014 camp and p<0.1 in 2014–15); and self-efficacy (p<0.05 in 2014 camp). Eighty-two percent of student coaches reported that they considered making a behavior change to improve their own health as a result of program participation. Qualitative feedback themes included acknowledgment of usefulness and relevance of the program, appreciation for physician instructors, knowledge gain, pride in helping family members, improved relationships and connectedness with family members, and lifestyle improvements.ConclusionOverall, when disseminated, this program can increase health knowledge and some psychosocial assets of at-risk youth and holds promise to empower these youth with health literacy and encourage them to adopt healthy behaviors.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease or disorder of chronic metabolism with multiethiology characterized by high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Diabetes Mellitus can not be cured but can be controlled by regulating blood sugar levels. One important factor in controlling blood sugar levels is the role of the family To know the correlation between family's informal role and the control of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus at RSUD Ungaran Semarang Regency.The design of this study was descriptive correlational with cross sectional approach with the number of population of 176 people and samples of 64 respondents by using accidental sampling method. Data collection tools used questionnaires. Data analysis used SPSS version 23.0. Bivariate analysis was processed by using chi square test. The informal role of the family in people with diabetes mellitus is mostly in good category (75.0%). Control of blood glucose level in people with diabetes mellitus is mostly in good category (62,5%). There is significant correlation between family informal role and blood glucose control in patients with diabetes mellitus at RSUD Ungaran Semarang Regency, with p value 0,043 <0,05 (α). There is correlation between family's informal role and the control of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes mellitus at RSUD Ungaran Semarang Regency.We recommend that patients with DM further improve the control of blood glucose levels by increasing the role of the family so as to prevent the occurrence of complications

To assess the impact of a school-based health intervention on adolescents’ health knowledge, psychosocial assets and health behaviors, including comparisons of implementation mode: remote, hybrid or in-person. The Stanford Youth Diabetes Coaches Program, an 8-week, school-based health promotion and coaching skills program, was offered to adolescents (ages 14–18 years) from four low-income US communities. Mode of program implementation was remote, hybrid or in-person. Participants completed online pre- and postsurveys. Analysis included paired t-tests, linear regression and qualitative coding. From Fall 2020 to Fall 2021, 262 adolescents enrolled and 179 finished the program and completed pre- and postsurveys. Of the 179, 80% were female, with a mean age of 15.9 years; 22% were Asian; 8% were Black or African American; 25% were White; and 40% were Hispanic. About 115 participants were remote, 25 were hybrid and 39 were in-person. Across all participants, significant improvements (P < 0.01) were reported in health knowledge, psychosocial assets (self-esteem, self-efficacy and problem-solving) and health behaviors (physical activity, nutrition and stress reduction). After adjusting for sex and age, these improvements were roughly equivalent across the three modes of delivery. Participation was associated with significant improvements in adolescent health behaviors. Furthermore, remote mode of instruction was just as effective as in-person and hybrid modes.
