Project Diabetes: Prescription for Healthy Living

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Exercise, Obesity, Behavioral Research

In brief

Health disparities related to obesity, pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes in the United States represent public health concerns. Given the benefit of exercise in disease prevention and management, evidence-based, cost-effective, brief interventions are needed to improve patient outcomes related to Type 2 diabetes and associated conditions. This novel behavioral intervention study connects individuals with resources within their community to affect change in their health and wellness. The aim is to connect disparate individuals to health and wellness resources to prevent the onset of diabetes. This will be accomplished through a collaborative effort with Vanderbilt Diabetes Center, Nashville Metro Parks and Recreation, and the Metro Public Health Department. A time series design will be used to assess the efficacy of physical activity counseling delivered by a health care professional, plus continued contact intervention delivered via a proactive and reactive health promotion counseling hotline that will leverage our partnership with Metro Parks versus counseling advice alone. In order to refine this intervention (Phase II) before it is executed, focus groups will first be conducted in Phase I with members of the target population in order to obtain feedback on the proposed intervention activities and materials. Qualitative findings and feasibility testing will be the basis for modifying the intervention.
