Summary

This study tests two behavioral programs—Appetite Awareness Training and the Diabetes Prevention Program—to see if they can reduce binge eating and prevent weight gain in Black women aged 18-25 who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Participants will attend 16 core sessions over six months plus six maintenance sessions over a year. The goal is to lower diabetes risk by addressing binge eating, a key modifiable factor in this population.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Two behavioral programs: Appetite Awareness Training (AAT) and the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point to an effective way to reduce binge eating and prevent type 2 diabetes in young Black women, helping to close health disparities.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with a relatively small group, so results may not apply broadly. The programs require active participation, and long-term success is uncertain.
