Sponsor: Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science
Summary
The goal of this observation study is to deliver an education program designed to increase knowledge of colorectal cancer prevention and nutrition education in minorities with Type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What factors are associated with colorectal cancer screening among patients with type 2 diabetes? * Will implementing a customized patient-centered, culturally appropriate colorectal cancer education, and nutrition education program reduce the risk for colorectal cancer among patients with type 2 diabetes? * What is the impact of a patient-centered, culturally appropriate colorectal cancer education, and nutrition education intervention program on colorectal cancer screening and dietary indices among patients with type 2 diabetes compared to outcomes with patients who do not receive the intervention (usual care)? Participants randomized to the intervention group will: * receive a customized patient-centered, culturally appropriate education program * participate in eight (8) education sessions * be given booklet with colorectal cancer education and nutrition education to use as a workbook Researchers will compare colorectal cancer knowledge, perceptions, self-care, and social norms scores and dietary indices of the intervention group to the control group immediately and 6-months post intervention to see if the education program increased colorectal cancer knowledge and screenings and changes in dietary habits.
