This study, called "Families Implementing Good Health Traditions for Life," is testing a special program designed for Black families in Southwest Georgia. The program, which includes 16 weekly sessions, aims to help families make healthier choices to reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes. It teaches strategies for healthy eating, managing stress, and understanding food cues. To join, you must be a Black parent or guardian (age 18 or older) living with a child aged 8-15, and have prediabetes (an HbA1c level between 5.7-6.4%). The study will consider itself successful if parents show a 4% reduction in weight after 4 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
