- Using Community-Based Participatory Research to Create a Healthy Latinx Cookbook for Progreso Latino: Baseline Data
- Abstract
- Background: In Central Falls, RI, where 67% of the population identify as Hispanic, there is a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes. The Progreso Latino Wellness Center, a non-profit health and socioeconomic-promoting organization in Central Falls, identified the need for a healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate, Spanish-language cookbook for its members.
Methods: Through a mixed-methods community-based participatory research study, we are seeking to identify facilitators and barriers to health eating, develop a healthy Latinx cookbook, and measure differences in dietary patterns pre- and post- receipt of the cookbook. We will employ 3 validated surveys to measure cooking self-efficacy and dietary habits in the Progreso Latino Diabetes Management, Chronic Pain, and Seniors groups.
Results: We collected baseline data (n=12). 100% of participants report liking to eat fruits and vegetables, but only 50% report eating vegetables the day prior. 83% report that the fruits and vegetables they like are too expensive and go bad too quickly.
Conclusion: In the preliminary surveys assessing dietary habits and cooking self-efficacy, participants unanimously report liking to eat fruits and vegetables but report barriers to doing so. These barriers include cost and that produce goes bad too quickly. These findings mirror the themes identified in the qualitative study and will be incorporated into the cookbook.
