What this trial studies

Researchers and community partners adapted the Diabetes Prevention Program into a family-oriented curriculum for Black families in Southwest Georgia using a community-engaged approach. The intervention pairs a DPP-adapted curriculum for high-risk adults with a parallel DPP-adapted curriculum for children ages 8–15, delivered over an extended follow-up period. The primary outcome is parent weight change, with the goal of a 4% reduction, and other diabetes risk indicators will be tracked. The study emphasizes local tailoring, family involvement, and measures of program acceptance and adherence.
