Summary
This study tests an online diabetes prevention program for UCLA undergraduates who are at risk for type 2 diabetes.

Researchers will compare results between those who take the program and a control group who receive other health materials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tailored Diabetes Prevention Program (online behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer an effective online program to help at-risk young adults prevent type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The program relies on self-reported data, which can be less reliable.
