Experimental: INCLUDE
Participants will receive 2-3 Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) videos per week for 12 weeks.
Additionally, community health workers (CHWs) will call participants every other week to review key video content, help with goal setting and problem solving, and assess and address social determinants of health (SDOH) barriers.
Participants will also receive fresh produce from the 10-week community-supported agriculture (CSA) program.
|
Video-based intervention to prevent or delay Type 2 Diabetes.
Includes both educational and social cognitive theory (SCT)-based behavioral content.
Each video lasts about 5 minutes in duration.
Provides weekly and culturally appropriate fresh produce for 10 weeks.

Change in International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short-Version Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
7-item self-assessment providing an estimate of the number of minutes per week participants engage in three categories of physical activity: vigorous activity, moderate activity, and walking activity. Scores are expressed in metabolic equivalent (MET) minutes per week. MET minutes represent the amount of energy expended carrying out physical activity. Higher scores indicate higher weekly levels of physical activity. An increase in scores indicates weekly levels of physical activity increased during the observation period. |

Change in San Francisco Chinese Food Security Module Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
18-item self-assessment measuring food access and insecurity among Chinese immigrants. Responses of "yes," "often," "sometimes," "almost every month," and "some months but not every month" are coded as affirmative. Food Security Status Levels are assigned based on the total number of affirmative responses. Households with children: 0-2 affirmative responses = "Food Secure"; 3-7 = "Food Insecure without Hunger"; 8-12 = "Food Insecure with Hunger, Moderate"; 13-18 = "Food Insecure with Hunger, Severe." Households without children: 0-2 affirmative responses = "Food Secure"; 3-5 = "Food Insecure without Hunger"; 6-8 = "Food Insecure with Hunger, Moderate"; 9-10 = "Food Insecure with Hunger, Severe." A decrease in the number of affirmative responses indicates food security status improved during the observation period. |

Change in SDOH Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
The 14-item SDOH questionnaire assessed core health-related social needs and barriers across five domains: economic stability (e.g., food access and housing stability), education access and quality (e.g., need to improve English proficiency, reading skills, or educational attainment), health care access and quality (e.g., insurance coverage), neighborhood and built environment (e.g., housing conditions), and social and community context (e.g., racial discrimination; need for childcare; and need for assistance addressing tobacco, alcohol, or drug use).
Items used dichotomous response options (1 = "Yes"; 0 = "No").
An overall SDOH score was calculated by summing responses across the 14 items (range: 0-14), with higher scores indicating greater SDOH-related barriers.

Change in Illness Perceptions score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
Illness perceptions were measured using the 8-item Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, adapted to assess participants' perceptions of prediabetes or risk for T2D.
The instrument includes 8 scaled items rated from 0 to 10 that capture cognitive and emotional representations of diabetes or risk, including perceived consequences, timeline, personal control, treatment control, identity, illness coherence, concern, and emotional response.
A ninth open-ended item asks participants to report perceived causes of their prediabetes or diabetes risk.
Item scores were summed, ranging from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating a more negative perception of prediabetes or diabetes risk.
We expected the intervention to reduce Brief IPQ total scores, reflecting a shift toward a more manageable perception of diabetes risk.

Change in Perceived Stress Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
Perceived stress was assessed using the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, a widely used and validated measure of the extent to which individuals perceive situations in their lives as stressful, unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overwhelming.
Items are rated on a 5-point scale from 0 ("never") to 4 ("very often"), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 40.
Higher scores indicate greater perceived stress.

Change in Depressive Symptoms Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2, a brief screening tool for patients with low literacy that measures the frequency of depressed mood and loss of interest or pleasure during the past 2 weeks.
Each item is rated on a 4-point scale from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 6. Higher scores indicate greater depressive symptom severity.

Change in Digital Literacy Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3
|
Digital literacy was assessed using the 8-item eHealth Literacy Scale, a validated self-report measure of perceived ability to locate, evaluate, and apply health information from electronic sources.
Each item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree"), yielding a total score from 8 to 40.
Higher scores indicate better digital literacy.
