Interventions

Presessions — BEHAVIORAL
The Pre-NDPP arm includes a "pre-session" with three components: 1) education about diabetes risks, 2) motivational interviewing (MI) to encourage participation in the NDPP and, 3) problem-solving of barriers to engagement.
National Diabetes Prevention Program — BEHAVIORAL
The Diabetes Prevention Program was a successful clinical trial demonstrating that intensive lifestyle support for weight loss reduced diabetes incidence by 58%. The intervention was translated into the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) and disseminated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a yearlong group-based program since 2012.

Study Details

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a widely available, evidence-based intervention that promotes weight loss to prevent type 2 diabetes; however, participant attendance is problematic and leads to suboptimal weight loss, especially among Hispanic, non-Hispanic black, and low-income non-Hispanic white participants. An innovative pre-session enhancement to the NDPP (Pre-NDPP) showed successful results upon initial application in a diverse and predominately low-income population, with doubled attendance and weight loss outcomes as compared to previous NDPP participants who did not receive a pre-session. If Pre-NDPP is shown to be successful upon more rigorous study, it can be widely adopted by NDPP providers across the country to help reduce diabetes prevalence and related health disparities.
