Results: A total of 47 people participated in the program; of whom, 40 (85%) were female, 38 (81%) were white, and the mean age was 69 AE 10 (mean AE SD).While the program is ongoing, 31 participants thus far completed the post assessments.From pre-to post-program, the participants' mean scores increased for diabetes knowledge by 10.60 points (p 0.003), and self-efficacy by 1.08 points (p 0.001).In addition, on average, participants reported a weight loss of 4.61 AE 9.68 pounds (p 0.01).In terms of health behaviors, there were increases in the prevalence of participants with healthy food choices (as defined by consuming five servings of fruit and vegetables on at least 3 days per week, 68% to 84%, p 0.68), and being physically active (as defined by 30 minutes of physical activity on at least 3 days of the week, 55% to 74%, p 0.005).Conclusions: Our findings show the success of a clinicalcommunity partnership in improve outcomes for people with diabetes.The HED could serve as a model for expanding clinical partnerships in Extension programs addressing chronic conditions.
