PILI 'Āina
Participants will receive the 3-month adapted Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Intervention. These lessons will be delivered by a trained community health worker. At 3 months, participants randomized to the PILI 'Āina intervention will receive a 6-month intervention centered around the use of a raised-bed home garden as the means of engaging household members to 1) increase their access to and intake of vegetables, 2) learn culturally relevant ways of preparing/cooking fresh vegetables through hands-on cooking lessons with local experts, and 3) build family cohesion through family bonding activities. Participants will be given all the equipment and materials (e.g., soil, seeds, instructions, setup of equipment) needed to grow their vegetables using their raised-bed home garden box throughout the entire study. They will receive seeds for the vegetables that can grow in a relatively short period (i.e., within 6 weeks).
Control
Participants will receive the 3-month adapted Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Intervention. These lessons will be delivered by a trained community health worker based on previously tested materials and protocols. At 3 months, participants randomized to the control group will receive monthly untailored health education information and links to community resources from the community health worker via United States Postal Service or electronic messaging. Examples include information on food assistance programs, farmers' markets, cultural events, and physical activity events.
