Evaluating a Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Program

Evaluating a Brief Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Program With Greater Scalability

This study aims to test the effectiveness of a Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) prevention program for individuals who have been diagnosed with prediabetes compared to a T2D educational control group. Project health is an obesity prevention program and has produced a 42% to 53% reduction in future onset of overweight/obesity and also produced greater reductions in negative affect compared to assessment-only controls that persisted. Project Health has been adapted to prevent onset of T2D among individuals with prediabetes. The study aims to test the effectiveness of Project Health at reducing BMI, HbA1c levels, increase physical activity and improve glucose control.
