Enhanced DPP-GLB to Promote Weight Loss Among Nonresponders in a Community-Based Lifestyle Intervention.

Enhanced DPP-GLB to Promote Weight Loss Among Nonresponders in a Community-Based Lifestyle Intervention.

Enhancing the Diabetes Prevention Program to Promote Weight Loss Among Nonresponders in a Community-Based Lifestyle Intervention.

This study seeks to establish the efficacy of identifying weight loss nonresponders early in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) intervention in 20 community settings (primarily churches and community centers) and providing them with individual-level, enhanced treatment through telephone contacts and access to additional resources. Additionally, potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between intervention status and weight loss response at 6 months in both nonresponders and responders will be examined and a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the cost of the intervention will be conducted. This study addresses key gaps in the literature about the weight loss effects of identifying nonresponders early and characterizing individuals who need more intense personalized strategies. The investigators hypothesize that changes between baseline and 3 months will be more pronounced among the nonresponders in the intervention group compared to the nonresponders in the active control group.

Participants in this group will receive the standard Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLP) Intervention Program.

Participants in this group will receive the enhanced Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLP) Intervention Program.

The intervention is based upon the 2017 version of the University of Pittsburgh DPP Group Lifestyle Balance Program (DPP-GLB). Participants will receive the DPP-GLB intervention once per week for 12 weeks, then twice monthly for 12 weeks (18 sessions total). The program includes hour-long group-based sessions and supportive materials including a weekly food diary and FitBit/pedometer.

The program includes hour-long group-based sessions and supportive materials including a weekly food diary and FitBit/pedometer. Intervention week 4, weight loss non-responders defined as weight loss less than 1% receive weekly telephone intervention, using motivational interviewing techniques to provide social support, assess barriers, resolve ambivalence, and support the participant in developing personal strategies. Additionally, this intervention includes weekly phone calls using motivational interviewing techniques to provide social support, assess barriers, resolve ambivalence, and support the participant in developing personal strategies.

Blood pressure will be measured with calibrated automated blood pressure monitor at baseline and at 12 weeks.

Blood pressure will be measured with calibrated automated blood pressure monitor at baseline and at 6 months.

Change in Physical Activity will be measured at baseline and 12 weeks using the Modifiable Activity Questionnaire (MAQ), which assesses activity frequency and duration. Scoring is open-ended; higher scores indicate increased activity.

Change in Dietary Intake will be measured using the validated, Dana Farber eating habits tool and the Dietary screener questionnaire which assesses the frequency of consumption of selected foods and drinks. The scoring range of the survey is Never or less than once per month, 1-3 per month, 1 per week, 2-4 per week, 5-6 per week, 1 per day, 2-3 per day, 4-5 per day, 6 or more per day, Prefer not to answer. Higher scores indicated increased dietary intake.

Investigator-developed instrument. At 6 months, conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the cost of the intervention arm by comparing the incremental cost and weight loss with the active control arm.

Quality of life will be measured using Impact of Weight on Quality of Life Questionnaire (IWQOL-Lite). This is a 31-item self-report scale. Scores range from 0-100; higher scores indicate greater quality of life.
