New approach aims to boost diabetes prevention in underserved communities
NCT ID NCT04022499
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding a special 'pre-session'—which includes education about diabetes risks, motivational interviewing, and help solving barriers—could encourage more people to attend a national diabetes prevention program. The trial involved 483 adults at risk for diabetes, mostly from low-income and minority backgrounds. The goal was to see if this extra support leads to better attendance and weight loss, which could help prevent type 2 diabetes.
