Study protocol for a multilevel diabetes prevention program for Marshallese Pacific Islanders in faith-based organizations

摘要

The community engagement efforts were supported by the UAMS Translational Research Institute funding through the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Research Resources and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (UL1TR000039) and by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (1513-UAMS). The research was partially funded through NIH R521MD011597. The content presented in this publication is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the views of NIH or PCORI. The project is made possible because of the existing community-based participatory research partnership with the Marshallese Consulate General in Springdale, Arkansas, Marshallese Education Initiative, and the Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese.
