NCT ID NCT04757519
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving extra support to Black adults who don't lose weight early in a diabetes prevention program helps them lose more weight. Over 400 participants joined a 12-week program at churches or community centers. Those not losing weight early got extra phone calls and resources to help them succeed.
