Abstract Summary
Effective T2D prevention strategies are essential to address inequities in health among Indigenous peoples. This research will examine community perspectives of resilience and wellness related to Type 2 Diabetes prevention, and study community-to-community (C2C) mentorship approaches that use community exchanges, participatory video storytelling and gatherings to support and build upon Type 2 Diabetes prevention mobilization efforts in Indigenous communities that have received the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project (KSDPP) Community Mobilization Training (CMT). Our main goal is to understand how the community-to-community (C2C) program works, and what conditions are necessary for it to be implemented successfully in other Indigenous communities. Findings will be useful for decision makers.
