Church-Based Diabetes Education Program
Leads to Healthier Lifestyles Among Latino Adults
Latino adults with diabetes who participated in a church-based education program reported eating less high-fat food and exercising more following a trial intervention program run by researchers from the University of Chicago’s department of medicine.
The Picture Good Health program, based in the city’s South Lawndale/Little Village neighborhood, included an eight-week series of classes led by trained community members. The participants, mostly older Latino women, all had a previous diagnosis of diabetes and were recruited from two Catholic church communities. The results of the study, published April 28 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, demonstrate the effectiveness of partnering with faith-based organizations to deliver diabetes education in the Latino community.
“People were very pleased with the fact that the program was at the church, that the class leader was someone from the community, and that it was held in a comfortable, familiar place,” says Arshiya Baig, MD, MPH, an assistant professor in the department of medicine at the University of Chicago and lead author of the study.

Heart rate, calories burned, blood sugar, cholesterol—users’ health and fitness apps are great at collecting all those data.
