Diabetes Prevention Translation: the Healthy Lifestyle Project

Summary

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), a large research study conducted in the United States, found that lifestyle intervention was effective in lowering risk for development of type 2 diabetes. It is important to evaluate the DPP lifestyle interventions in "real world" settings. The purpose of this project is to test an adapted version of the DPP lifestyle intervention in several community settings, including a worksite, a health care facility (primary care practice and local community centers dedicated to older adults.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Current Intervention

Participants assigned to Current Intervention will receive the intervention described below immediately after randomization. The one-year GLB program is an adaptation of the successful DPP lifestyle intervention. The goals of the intervention are to achieve and maintain a 7% weight loss, and to safely and progressively increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week of moderately intense physical activity. GLB-GROUP: group meetings weekly transitioning to monthly over one year led by a trained coach. GLB-DVD: Consists of a series of taped sessions of a staged GLB group following a script which was developed to closely follow the GLB program. GLB-DVD participants complete the sessions via DVD and have telephonic contact with their coach as well as monthly group meetings.

BEHAVIORAL

Delayed Intervention

Participants assigned to Delayed Intervention receive the same intervention as Current Intervention Group, 6 months from randomization. The one-year GLB program is an adaptation of the successful DPP lifestyle intervention. The goals of the intervention are to achieve and maintain a 7% weight loss, and to safely and progressively increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week of moderately intense physical activity. GLB-GROUP: group meetings weekly transitioning to monthly over one year led by a trained coach. GLB-DVD: Consists of a series of taped sessions of a staged GLB group following a script which was developed to closely follow the GLB program. GLB-DVD participants complete the sessions via DVD and have telephonic contact with their coach as well as monthly group meetings.
