The aim of this study was to better understand facilitators and barriers of the early adoption of healthy eating and physical activity behaviors among Black women participating in a community-based, community-initiated diabetes education program. We held focus groups with participants ( N = 14) ages 24 to 90 years. Participants were recruited from a multisite, community-based diabetes prevention program in the Southeastern United States. Data were collected in March and June of 2017. Barriers and facilitators of change were categorized using the socioecological model with interpersonal, intrapersonal, community, and environmental factors serving as the foundation for thematic content. Participants reported the adoption of several behavioral changes resulting in positive health outcomes. They also identified several facilitators and few barriers to initial behavior change on participating in the diabetes prevention program. The greatest facilitator was interpersonal, while the greatest barriers were community and/or environmental. Understanding the factors that improve or impede the successful adoption of health behaviors among Black women participating in a behavioral lifestyle program will allow us to develop stronger, more tailored interventions that provide the greatest impact to assist in improving weight loss outcomes and reducing the burden of diabetes among Black women.

The Impact

Introduction The American Heart Association created “Life’s Simple Seven” metrics to estimate progress toward improving US cardiovascular health in a standardized manner. Given the widespread use of federally funded Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)-based lifestyle interventions such as the Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB), evaluation of change in health metrics within such a program is of national interest. This study examined change in cardiovascular health metric scores during the course of a yearlong DPP-GLB intervention. Methods Data were combined from 2 similar randomized trials offering a community based DPP-GLB lifestyle intervention to overweight/obese individuals with prediabetes and/or metabolic syndrome. Pre/post lifestyle intervention participation changes in 5 of the 7 cardiovascular health metrics were examined at 6 and 12 months (BMI, blood pressure, total cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, physical activity). Smoking was rare and diet was not measured. Results Among 305 participants with complete data (81.8% of 373 eligible adults), significant improvements were demonstrated in all 5 risk factors measured continuously at 6 and 12 months. There were significant positive shifts in the “ideal” and “total” metric scores at both time points. Also noted were beneficial shifts in the proportion of participants across categories for BMI, activity, and blood pressure. Conclusion AHA-metrics could have clinical utility in estimating an individual’s cardiovascular health status and in capturing improvement in cardiometabolic/behavioral risk factors resulting from participation in a community-based translation of the DPP lifestyle intervention.

Abstract Individuals with prediabetes can lower their diabetes risk by participating in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP), an evidence-based, group lifestyle change program that is taught by a certified lifestyle coach. To date, studies have not explicitly compared National DPP implementation across multiple settings (i.e., types of organizations) to understand comparative setting advantages or challenges to engaging priority groups. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of: (a) the variation in National DPP implementation across clinic, community-based, and digital settings and (b) associated facilitators and barriers. The study focused on three core implementation domains: recruitment, retention, and data reporting. This study used a descriptive, qualitative approach to identify current practices, facilitators, and barriers to National DPP implementation by conducting semistructured key informant interviews in spring 2018 with 12 organizations delivering the National DPP in Los Angeles County. There was a general commonality between in-person settings (clinics and community-based), while the experiences of digital providers were relatively distinct. Recruitment and retention were widely described by all settings as labor- and time-intensive, while data reporting was seen as relatively less burdensome. All respondents reported using multiple recruitment strategies. Lifestyle coaches were seen as key to retention, and they spent substantial time engaging with participants outside of class, which often was not accounted for in program costs. Data reporting was easier for organizations that invested in sophisticated data management systems and had staff with sufficient data experience. This study advances knowledge around the translation of the National DPP in diverse settings in the nation’s largest county and highlights opportunities for targeted, setting-specific support.

Abstract Background Community-based diabetes prevention programs varied widely in effectiveness, and the intervention strategy consisting of lifestyle interventions, stepwise addition of metformin, and financial incentives has not been studied in real-world clinical practice settings. The Pre-Diabetes Interventions and Continued Tracking to Ease-out Diabetes (Pre-DICTED) trial is a pragmatic trial that aims to compare the effectiveness of a community-based stepwise diabetes prevention program with added financial incentives (intervention) versus the standard of care (control) in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes over 3 years among overweight or obese individuals with pre-diabetes. Methods This is an open-label, 1:1 randomized controlled trial which aims to recruit 846 adult individuals with isolated impaired fasting glucose (IFG), isolated impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or both IFG and IGT from Singapore. Intervention arm participants attend 12 group-based sessions (2 nutrition workshops, 9 exercise sessions, and a goal-setting workshop) delivered at community sites (weeks 1 to 6), receive weekly physical activity and nutrition recommendations delivered by printed worksheets (weeks 7 to 12), and receive monthly health tips delivered by text messages (months 4 to 36). From month 6 onwards, intervention arm participants who remain at the highest risk of conversion to diabetes are prescribed metformin. Intervention arm participants are also eligible for a payment/rewards program with incentives tied to attendance at the group sessions and achievement of the weight loss target (5% of baseline weight). All participants are assessed at baseline, month 3, month 6, and every 6 months subsequently till month 36. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants with diabetes at 3 years. Secondary endpoints include the mean change from baseline at 3 years in fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour plasma glucose, HbA1c, body weight, body mass index, physical activity, and dietary intake. Discussion The Pre-DICTED trial will provide evidence of the effectiveness and feasibility of a community-based stepwise diabetes prevention program with added financial incentives for individuals with pre-diabetes in Singapore. The study will provide data for a future cost-effectiveness analysis, which will be used to inform policymakers of the value of a nationwide implementation of the diabetes prevention program.
