Lifestyle Program for Black Adolescent Girls at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

This study is testing a 12-week in-person lifestyle program called "Black Girls for Wellness In-Person" for Black adolescent girls and their female caregivers. The program aims to help girls who are at risk for type 2 diabetes (a condition where the body doesn't use sugar properly). Each week, you and your caregiver would attend a Wellness Session with mindfulness, nutrition lessons, and dance, plus a home cooking experience with provided ingredients. Researchers want to see if this program improves diet quality, which is the main goal of the study. They are also looking at physical activity, body composition, and blood sugar levels. To join, you must be a Black or African American girl between 12 and 18 years old with obesity. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 60 participants.
