What this research studies
This research aims to adapt a diabetes prevention program specifically for Hispanic adolescents using telehealth. By addressing social barriers such as transportation and childcare, the program seeks to make participation easier for families. The project will test the feasibility and acceptability of this adapted program, which is based on proven methods and culturally relevant practices. The principal investigator, Dr. Erica Soltero, will utilize mixed-methods and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the program's effectiveness.

Not a fit: Patients who are not Hispanic or do not fall within the adolescent age range may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could provide a more accessible and effective way for Hispanic adolescents to prevent type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using telehealth for diabetes prevention in various populations, indicating a promising approach for this specific demographic.
