What this research studies
Type 2 diabetes is a serious health concern for many Latino children and their families. While successful programs exist for adults, they often don't work as well for diverse communities, and there aren't many options for whole families. Our team has developed a culturally sensitive approach that considers community, family, and individual factors that influence health. We are now testing a new family-focused program designed to help prevent diabetes in this community.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates would be Latino children and adolescents, along with their families, who are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients who already have type 2 diabetes or are not part of a Latino family at high risk for the condition may not directly benefit from this specific prevention program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could offer a new, effective way for Latino families to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies, like the Diabetes Prevention Program, have shown that lifestyle changes can prevent diabetes in adults, and our team has had success reducing risk factors in Latino adolescents.
