PreventT2 Together: Preventing Type 2 Diabetes with Couple-Based Support

This study, called PreventT2 Together, is looking at a new way to prevent type 2 diabetes in people at high risk. It compares two behavioral interventions: PreventT2, a standard lifestyle program, and PreventT2 Together, which is a similar program designed for couples. You could join if you are 18 or older, have a BMI of 25 or higher (23 if Asian American), are not pregnant, and are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. The study aims to see if the couple-based approach helps more people increase their physical activity over 14 months. The study plans to enroll 324 people, but its current status is unclear.

Not currently pregnant, and
High risk for type 2 diabetes based on: (i) CDC Prediabetes Risk Test score ≥ 5, (ii) clinically diagnosed Gestational Diabetes during a previous pregnancy (for women), or (iii) a blood test result indicative of prediabetes in the past year (i.e., fasting blood glucose 100-125 mg/dl; plasma glucose 140-199 mg/dl measured 2 hours after a 75 g glucose load; or HbA1c 5.7%-6.4%). 2. The couple has lived together for 1+ years. 3. Both partners are willing to participate in the research. 4. Both partners are at least 18 years old. 5. Both partners are fluent in English.

Exclusion

Is currently on medication or engaged in lifestyle intervention for prediabetes or obesity, or
Has previously participated in the National DPP, or
Reports discomfort participating in a lifestyle program with their partner, or
Reports a low level of relationship commitment (i.e., "4" or lower on a scale from 1 (do not agree at all) to 7 (agree completely) on the item "I want this relationship to stay strong no matter what rough times we encounter."; Owen et al., 2011).

What this trial measures

  • Percent of target partners achieving clinically meaningful increases in Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA)14 months

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-7 day (Pre-Intervention, Post-Intervention) and a 7-day At-Home accelerometer assessment (Pre-Intervention, Post-Intervention). International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-7 day (Monthly during Intervention). Among participants attending intervention classes, starting at the fourth class minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) over the past week will be reported to Lifestyle Coaches. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaires assess self-reported walking, moderate intensity, and vigorous intensity physical activity as well as overall sedentary time. Accelerometers provide objective assessments of these constructs. Intervention class participants self-report the total number of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity (MVPA) minutes over the previous week.
