Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in diet quality of adolescent participants, as measured by the Healthy Eating Index Scores
Scores are calculated from three 24-hour diet records, range from 0-100. Higher score reflects that higher alignment between one's diet and dietary recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in dermal carotenoids level
Scores are measured using the Veggie Meter device, range from 0-800. Higher score acts as proxy for fruits and vegetables consumption.
Change in percent time sedentary
Accelerometry data will be collected from wrist accelerometers worn by participants for 7 days. Percent time spent on sedentary will be calculated.
Change in percent time spent in light activity
Accelerometry data will be collected from wrist accelerometers worn by participants for 7 days. Percent time spent in light activity will be calculated.
Change in percent time spent in moderate to vigorous activity
Accelerometry data will be collected from wrist accelerometers worn by participants for 7 days. Percent time spent in moderate and vigorous activity will be calculated.
Change in glucose levels
Fasting glucose and 2 hour glucose levels will be collected through an oral glucose tolerance test.
Change in fasting insulin levels
Insulin level will be assessed through blood draws on fasting participants.
Change in HbA1c
HbA1c will be assessed through blood draws on fasting participants.
Change in lipid profile
Total, high-density, low-density cholesterol, and triglycerides will be assessed through blood draws on fasting participants.
Change in body mass index
Height will be measured using a stadiometer to the nearest decimal point in cm. Weight will be measured using a scale to the nearest decimal in kg. Body mass index will be calculated using kg/m^2.
Change in body fat percentage
Body fat percentage will be measured using a scale to the nearest decimal.
Change in waist circumference
Waist circumference will be measured using a waist circumference tape to the nearest decimal in cm.
Change in high blood pressure status
Blood pressure will be measured using blood pressure monitors. High blood pressure is considered as reading of >=120/80.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to look at changes in diabetes-related risk factors in Black adolescent girls who are at risk for type 2 diabetes after participating in a 12-wk telehealth lifestyle program.
Detailed Description
Participants will be divided into 2 groups; the first group will take part in the program, the second group will not. Adolescents' caregivers will also be invited to participate in the program (e.g., attend lessons). The investigators hypothesize that after the program, adolescents' diet will be higher in quality than before, and higher than adolescents who did not receive the program.
