Evaluating Community Gardens as Environmental Health Interventions in Mississauga
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a revised version of Ecosource's 26-week community garden program. This project aims to assess how community gardening can reduce type 2 diabetes risk and improve health outcomes among people aged 18 and older, who have type 2 diabetes, type 2 diabetes risk factors, or interest in type 2 diabetes prevention. The project's objectives are to: 1. Co-design and deliver a revised 26-week program integrating type 2 diabetes education into Ecosource's community garden program. 2. Evaluate the program's impact on type 2 diabetes risk factors, including diet quality and physical activity, and its alignment with Mississauga's Healthy City Strategy by improving access to healthy foods and green spaces. 3. Share findings to inform future community gardening initiatives aimed at reducing type 2 diabetes risk and promoting health. Participants will: * Participate in a co-design focus group * Complete 3 questionnaires about diet quality and T2D risk factors at baseline, 12 weeks, and 26 weeks. * Participate in a photovoice project and focus group * Participate in a post-implementation focus group
