What this trial studies

This study aims to adapt an evidence-based diabetes prevention program specifically for Hispanic adolescents aged 12-16 years who are obese. It utilizes a telehealth approach to address barriers such as transportation and childcare, making it easier for families to participate. The study involves focus groups with adolescents and parents to gather insights on program features and technology use, followed by expert panel reviews and usability testing of the adapted program. The goal is to create a feasible and effective intervention that can be delivered remotely.
