Abstract
Session presented on Friday, September 26, 2014:
Based on evidence that type 2 diabetes (T2DM) can be delayed or prevented through lifestyle modification, and the disproportionate impact of T2DM in Latino populations, focused attention is warranted toward primary prevention of T2DM in Latino adults with prediabetes who are immigrants and predominantly Spanish-speaking. Perception of risk of developing diabetes is viewed as a key, mediating factor between cognitive intentions to lower actual risk of developing diabetes and primary preventive health actions. The purpose of this study was to develop a cross-cultural adaptation of the Risk Perception Survey for Developing Diabetes (RPS-DD) for predominately Spanish-speaking Latino adult immigrants in Northern California, and to examine the association between having prediabetes and perception of risk of developing diabetes.
