A Mobile Based Diabetes Prevention Program

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sedentary Lifestyle, Physical Activity, Pre-Diabetic

In brief

The goals of the study are to: 1. Assess effect sizes of our mDPP intervention on weight loss, physical activity, dietary intake, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels from baseline to 5 months as compared to a control group. 2. To explore the association between low heath-literacy levels at baseline and adherence to mobile phone usage. 3. To conduct process evaluation to gain insights into patient compliance to the mobile intervention, including usage barriers and acceptability of our mDPP, at 1 and 5 months using a semi-structured interview method.
