Presessions for the National Diabetes Prevention Program

"The Pre-NDPP arm includes a pre-session with three components: 1) education about diabetes risks, 2) motivational interviewing (MI) to encourage participation in the NDPP and, 3) problem-solving of barriers to engagement."

The Diabetes Prevention Program was a successful clinical trial demonstrating that intensive lifestyle support for weight loss reduced diabetes incidence by 58%. The intervention was translated into the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) and disseminated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a yearlong group-based program since 2012.
