United for Health: Type 2 Diabetes Prevention in Latino Teens

Summary

This study pilots the feasibility and acceptability of a family-based lifestyle intervention for decreasing diabetes risk called "Salud sin Barreras" (meaning, "Health without Barriers") delivered in the community to Latino teens at risk for type 2 diabetes. This program combines traditional lifestyle intervention to change eating and physical activity with learning mindfulness-based stress reduction tools. We also are exploring how Salud sin Barreras lowers stress and improves insulin resistance in Latino teens, as compared to lifestyle-only intervention, the "La Vida Saludable" (meaning, the Healthy Living Program; HeLP).
