Abstract

The All One Community (A1C) program addresses chronic disease among immigrant populations, specifically South Asian, Arab, and Rohingya groups in Greater Chicago. The program offers culturally and linguistically tailored type 2 diabetes education, incorporating social support from family or friends. Participants (n=247) provided biometric data at baseline and during community screenings at 3, 6, and 9 months. Of the 199 participants completing at least 10 sessions, 91 had diabetes (HbA1C ≥ 6.5). Significant improvements in blood pressure (p=0.025) and body mass index (BMI, p=0.015) were observed. Diabetic participants with a social support partner experienced greater BMI reductions (p<0.05). Uninsured participants showed more significant improvements in systolic blood pressure (p=0.02) and cholesterol (p=0.04) than those with insurance. The findings suggest that social support and targeted interventions can improve diabetes management in uninsured immigrants at higher health risk.

All One Community （A1C）项目通过文化量身定制的教育和合作伙伴支持的入学，提高了参与不足的亚洲移民的糖尿病结局。

All One Community （A1C）项目旨在解决移民群体中的慢性病问题，特别是大芝加哥地区的南亚、阿拉伯和罗兴亚群体。该项目提供文化和语言定制的2型糖尿病教育，并结合来自家庭或朋友的社会支持。参与者（n=247）在基线和3、6和9个月的社区筛查期间提供了生物特征数据。在199名完成至少10个疗程的参与者中，91名患有糖尿病（HbA1C≥6.5）。血压（p=0.025）和体重指数（BMI, p=0.015）均有显著改善。有社会支持伴侣的糖尿病参与者的BMI下降幅度更大（p < 0.05）。没有保险的参与者在收缩压（p=0.02）和胆固醇（p=0.04）方面比有保险的参与者有更显著的改善。研究结果表明，社会支持和有针对性的干预可以改善健康风险较高的无保险移民的糖尿病管理。
