Using a Geographically Targeted and Mixed Methods Approach to Improve Glycemic Control Among Black Men Identified as Having Previously Undiagnosed Diabetes and Prediabetes
Geographic analyses of diabetes burden have found that poor glycemic control, high rates of
diabetes-related hospital utilization, and a high prevalence of microvascular diabetic
complications all cluster in the same neighborhoods.This proposed study seeks to identify
Black barbers with undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes using point-of-care HbA1c testing,
perform qualitative interviews to identify health behaviors that may explain poor sugar
control, and develop a workplace-based food intervention to promote primary prevention and
test its effect on sugar control in these individuals.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Black or African American men who work as barbers at Black-owned barbershops
- Workplace in neighborhood geographically identified as having higher diabetes burden
- No prior history of clinical diagnosis of diabetes
- Identified on initial and second point-of-care testing to have an HbA1c of 5.7 or
greater
Exclusion Criteria:
- Individuals with a history of blood loss or blood disorder that would lead to
incorrect results on point-of care HbA1c testing
- Individuals with a history of food allergies that requires specific dietary
restrictions
- Individuals who are not English speaking
- Individuals who have a significant cognitive impairment that will be a barrier to
