Telehealth Diabetes Prevention Program for Hispanic Adolescents

This study is testing a digital program called Fit24+ to help Hispanic adolescents (teens) with obesity prevent type 2 diabetes. Fit24+ uses a Fitbit, a chatbot, and online learning to teach about healthy eating and physical activity. The study aims to see if this program is practical and can be used by 40 Hispanic teens, aged 14 to 16, who have obesity (body mass index percentile (BMI%) ≥ 95th percentile) and own a cellphone. The main goal is to measure how practical the program is over 12 weeks. The study status is currently unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 40 participants aged 14-16 years. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
Hispanic adolescents and parents will participate in at least three study activities, including focus groups or an interactive survey, and provide feedback on program adaptations.
Compensation
Participants will be compensated.
Follow-up
Feasibility will be measured at 12 weeks post-intervention.

What this trial measures

  • FeasibilityChange from Baseline to 12 weeks post-intervention

    Feasibility is the primary outcome and will be evaluated using a priori criteria. Recruitment and Data Collection criteria will assess the feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants from community clinics. This will provide information on the availability of high-risk adolescents in community clinics and the feasibility of recruiting and engaging adolescents from this setting. The integrity of Study Protocol criteria will be used to identify the feasible and acceptable intervention doses. Technical Issues criteria will assess the feasibility of using Learnworlds, a Fitbit, and text messaging. Fidelity will be assessed as a team member will observe 75% of nutrition sessions and will complete fidelity checklists. Satisfaction will assess program acceptability. If feasibility criteria are satisfied it will be used to develop a future R01.
