Promotora-led intervention (PLI)
Usual care (UC)
PLI -DPP protocol was developed from original DPP materials and culturally tailored for the target population based on formative research. The core PL-DPP curriculum includes 14 group sessions of 90 minutes duration. One promotora will lead each session in Spanish using behavioral strategies to discuss lifestyle behaviors, exploring such topics as being active, low-fat diets, portion control, self monitoring, problem solving and life-style changes.
UC participants will receive standard educational materials in Spanish discussing mental health and diabetes prevention. UC participants will be encouraged to continue all routine medical care during the study.
