Our aim is to test a Family Model of DSME using a mixed-methods approach. Marshallese participants with type 2 diabetes will be recruited. Those who are assigned to the family model will be asked to invite one to ten adult members of their families to participate in the DSME. Given that ~30-50% of adults in the Marshallese community have type 2 diabetes, and the Marshallese typically have large families, recruitment for this nontraditional model is plausible. Furthermore, the method was designed from input from our CBPR partnership with the Marshallese.
