Diabetes Prevention Program for African Americans

This study is testing different versions of a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to help African Americans with prediabetes or who are overweight/obese. The study aims to improve weight loss and class attendance, which have been lower in previous DPPs for African Americans. You might receive the standard Diabetes Prevention Program, a Culturally Tailored Diabetes Prevention Program, or a Culturally Tailored DPP Enhanced with Socioeconomic Supports. To join, you must be Black/African American, at least 18 years old, overweight, and have prediabetes or a high risk for it. The study is looking for 360 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
