Abbreviations: T2DM type 2 diabetes mellitus

a

Response options ranged from 1 = “not at all true” to 4 = “exactly true” except for the risk for type 2 diabetes question.

b

P <0.05 used for statistical significance; Student’s t-test within a repeated measures ANOVA model for between-group comparison

c

One person in the experimental group did not complete the assessment post-intervention.

d

Responses options ranged from 1 = “much below average” to 7 = “much above average” for 1-item regarding risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

e

P < 0.025 used for statistical significance to account for multiple comparisons; *P < 0.025; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; Student’s t-test within a repeated measures ANOVA model to compare the within-group change from baseline to post-intervention and from baseline to 3-month follow-up

f

P < 0.05 used for statistical significance; due to non-normality, P-values for between-group comparisons were based on the Wilcoxon test

g

P < 0.025 used for statistical significance to account for multiple comparisons; **P < 0.01; due to non-normality, P-values to compare the within-group change from baseline to 3-month follow-up were based on the Wilcoxon test
