Dance and Diabetes/Prediabetes Self-Management

The Dance for Diabetes program was designed as a community service project for the North Carolina Albert Schweitzer Fellowship. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the project and its impact on participants. This study will assess whether a group dance workshop along with diabetes education can help people with diabetes and prediabetes.

About this study

This is a pilot study that will be testing whether or not a group dance workshop is useful and effective. If it is, the study team will refine the workshop model and do additional dance classes in the future. This research study will involve attending a dance workshop once a week for 2 months using an online, video-conferencing computer application. Participants will also receive information about exercise and how to manage their diabetes. Participants will receive a phone call every week during the 2 months to assess their experience. Study participants will also be asked to complete surveys at the beginning and end of the 2-month session, as well as 1 month and 2 months after the classes end.

    Time frame: 8 weeks post intervention completion

    Average number of days subjects report being active

  12. NHANES 2019-2020 PAQ--minutes active

  13. Diabetes Empowerment Scale (DES) score

    Time frame: baseline

    Score ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 denoting a worse outcome.

  14. DES Score

    Time frame: 4 weeks post intervention completion

    This questionnaire is given to determine if there were any changes in participants' activity level 4 weeks post intervention. Score ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 denoting a worse outcome.

  15. DES score

    Time frame: 8 weeks post baseline

    This questionnaire is given 8 weeks post baseline in order to determine any improvements made during the intervention. Score ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 denoting a worse outcome.

  16. DES Score

    Time frame: 8 weeks post intervention completion

    This questionnaire is given to determine if there were any changes in participants' activity level 8 weeks post intervention. Score ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 denoting a worse outcome.

Other outcomes

  1. Weight

    Time frame: 8 weeks post intervention completion

    measured in kilograms

  2. Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Time frame: 8 weeks post intervention completion

    Weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness.

  3. Glycated Hemoglobin (A1c)

    Time frame: 8 weeks post intervention completion

    The A1c test is a blood test that provides information about average levels of blood glucose over the past 3 months. The A1c test can be used to diagnose type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. The A1c test result is reported as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher the blood glucose levels have been. A normal A1c level is below 5.7 percent
