Given the challenge of cooking traditional Caribbean meals so they are consistent with the goals of diabetes prevention and management, the researcher created and evaluated a new website portal as e-health tailored to be culturally appropriate and teach the following: how to cook and prepare "Healthy Diabetes" Caribbean Plates. A social marketing campaign resulted in a convenience sample (N = 152) with 54% born in the U.S. and 46% born in the Caribbean. The sample had a mean age of 36 years (M = 35.8, SD = 8.9, Min 25, Max 6), a modest level of acculturation (M = 3.3, SD, 1.0, Min 2, Max 6), and 19.1% had been formally diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes; 19.1% also had a spouse/partner so diagnosed. After spending a recommended 10 to 15 minutes browsing the new website portal the overall rating of the Website was "good to very good" (M = 7.9, SD = 1.7, Min 3.2 Max 10). Results showed stage of change for cooking healthy before exploring the website had a sample Mean of 2.45 (between contemplation and preparation stages, SD = 1.477) versus the after Mean of 2.91 (closest to preparation stage SD = 1.139); t = -5.379, df = 147 (P < 0.001). Furthermore, results showed self-efficacy for cooking healthy before exploring the website was a Mean 3.52 (between 40% and 60% confident, or for being fairly confident SD = 1.509) versus the after Mean of 4.59 (closest to 80% confident or a good level of confidence, SD = 1.154); t = - 10.353, df = 147 (P < 0.001). Thus, these results suggest the website served as a brief intervention for increasing readiness and self-efficacy to engage in cooking healthy meals. The backwards stepwise regression showed a "higher" overall website rating was predicted by a higher rating of overall quality of care received from the primary care physician (B = 0.333, SE = 0.115, p = 0.004) and a "higher" number of people that the participant cooks for with Type 2 diabetes (B= 0.281, SD = 0.123, p = 0.024)--[R[superscript 2] = 0.081, Adjusted R[superscript 2] = 0.068, 6.8 % of variance explained].
