Effectiveness of DVD vs. group-initiated diabetes prevention on information uptake for high & low health literacy participants.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study evaluates the effectiveness of technology versus in-person, group-initiated diabetes prevention to enhance comprehension of learning objectives between patients with differing health literacy (HL).

Methods

Evidence-based content through either a DVD (n = 217) or in-person, group class (n = 225) to initiate the intervention. A teach-back call was used to assess comprehension of, and reinforce, learning objectives. Chi-squared was used to determine differences between conditions (DVD vs Class) and HL levels (High n = 361 vs. Low n = 81) and regression analyses were used to examine relationships.

Results

DVD participants performed significantly better across teach back questions (15.4 ± 2.5 v. 14.8 ± 2.6, p < 0.01), demonstrated comprehension in fewe
