Active Comparator
Online Diabetes Prevention Program
Enhanced Standard Care
Participants will receive access to a 12-month online diabetes prevention program modeled after the CDC DPP curriculum. Participants in the online program receive paced curriculum, access to a live health coach, interactive group message forums, and connected weight scale and activity monitoring devices.
All participants randomized to the standard-care/control group (SC) will be offered the opportunity to attend a single 90-minute diabetes prevention class with a trained health professional (MPH, RD, or related advanced degree). The class will focus on healthful eating based on the current MyPlate recommendations, guidance on gradual increases in moderate intensity physical activity, and action planning to be shared with friends and/or family. Control participants will also be given the opportunity to participate in the online digital intervention upon completion of the 12-month follow-up assessment.
