New T-UP: Engaging Vulnerable Students in Diabetes Prevention
This study, called "New T-UP," is looking at an online program to help young adults prevent type 2 diabetes. It's designed for UCLA undergraduate students aged 17-25 who have prediabetes or are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, especially those facing challenges like food or financial insecurity. The program, called the Tailored DPP Intervention, involves online lessons you can complete at your own pace. Researchers want to see if this program helps with weight loss and improves your quality of life over 9 months. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 80 participants.
- Study design
- This is a pilot study with 80 participants. You would be randomly assigned to either receive the Tailored DPP Intervention right away or be part of a control group that gets other interventions first.
- What's involved
- You would complete online lessons for the Tailored DPP Intervention on your own time, with each lesson taking about 15 minutes. Your weight and quality of life will be measured at the beginning and after 9 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your weight and quality of life will be measured at 9 months after starting the study.

What this trial measures
- Change in weight (pounds, lbs) between baseline and 9-month follow-up9 months
A physical scale will be used to assess the percent weight (in pounds) at baseline and at 9-months follow-up; change in these two measures will be calculated and used as the primary outcome. The investigators are comparing the percentage change between participants' final weight (in pounds) measurement versus baseline weight (in pounds) measurement as a fraction of participants' baseline weight measurement (= (final - baseline) / baseline)).
- Change in self-reported quality of life (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Health-Related Quality of Life-14 item (CDC HRQOL-14)) between baseline and 9-month follow-up9 months
A self-reported questionnaire will be administered at baseline and 9-month follow-up and will include questions from the three different modules of the CDC HRQOL-14. The summary "unhealthy days" index, which ranges from 0-30 unhealthy days, will be calculated. Higher scores indicate worse health/well-being.
