This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Background Chronic disease self-management education has been shown to be effective in improving self-efficacy and health outcomes. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a fast and effective program adaptation and delivery was imperative for Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic from in-person to on-line to continue serving its patients and communities.Methods A retrospective self-administer questionnaire was developed for participants that attended the real time online program at high levels. Questionnaire was administered via SurveyMonkey. A total of 217 completed the questionnaire. Workshops were offered in English and Spanish to patients with any chronic condition(s). A1c data was captured using Epic.Results The peer-led and real time content-delivered online program demonstrated access capacity, preference for online workshops, and improved self-efficacy and outcomes among participants.Discussion Community health centers may benefit themselves and low-income communities by making real-time online content for chronic disease self-management programs available and deliverable to their patients.
