Abstract
Frameworks are needed to inform diabetes self-care programs for diverse populations. We tested the Information'sMotivation'sBehavioral Skills (IMB) model in a sample of Puerto Ricans with Type 2 diabetes (N = 118). Structural equation models evaluated model fit and interrelations between IMB constructs. For diet behavior, information and motivation related to behavioral skills ( r = 0.19, p <.05 and r = 0.39, p <.01, respectively); behavioral skills related to behavior (r = 0.42, p <.01 and r = 0.32, p <.05); and behavior related to glycemic control (r = 's0.26, p <.05). For exercise, personal motivation related to behavioral skills (r = 0.53, p <.001), and behavioral skills related to behavior (r = 0.45, p <.001). The IMB model could inform interventions targeting these behaviors in diabetes.
