Abstract
This study examined the feasibility of Salud Latina, a weekly synchronous online chat intervention, aimed at engaging Latinos in diabetes prevention conversations. Participants were Latino English- and Spanish-speaking individuals. Salud Latina comprised of six synchronous weekly online chats moderated by bilingual Latina moderators trained in diabetes and online engagement. Online chats used open-ended questions. We assessed feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction of the intervention and qualitatively analyzed the chats to identify barriers and facilitators to healthy behaviors and identify types of support exchanged. Participants (N = 20) were mostly female and English/Spanish bilingual and 80% completed at least four chats. Salud Latina was acceptable, feasible and highly satisfactory. Four themes were identified: (1) barriers to engaging in healthy behaviors, (2) facilitators of healthy behaviors, (3) Salud Latina provides a community of support, and (4) the need to build a Latino culture of health. Participants recognized the importance of engaging in healthy behaviors to prevent or delay T2D. Findings provide insight in how a synchronous online chat intervention could be used to build a social media community within a Latino population to support healthy behaviors. Future research could explore combining synchronous online chats with in-person community or family-level interventions.
