Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Intervention in the Marshallese Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Wholeness, Oneness, Righteousness, Deliverance Diabetes Prevention Program and Partnership for Improving Lifestyle Intervention Diabetes Prevention Program for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Completed, enrolled 380 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will conduct a comparative effectiveness cluster-randomized controlled trial (cRCT) of two Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle interventions: a faith-based intervention (Wholeness, Oneness, Righteousness, Deliverance \[WORD\] DPP); and a Pacific Islander adapted intervention (Partnership for Improving Lifestyle Interventions \[PILI\] DPP. Each intervention lasted 24 weeks and focused on the importance of healthy eating, being physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight. Eligible participants included overweight and obese Marshallese adults living in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The unit of randomization is at the church level. The primary outcome measure is body weight loss (from baseline weight). As selected by stakeholders, HbA1c, blood pressure, physical activity, and dietary intake will be evaluated as secondary outcome measures. Data collection will take place at baseline (pre-intervention), immediate post-intervention (6 months post-initiation of the intervention), and 6 months post-intervention (12 months post-initiation of the intervention).
