Micro-Clinic Obesity and Metabolic Risk Prevention Program
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type II, Heart Disease, Obesity, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia
In brief
The purpose of this randomized trial is to study the efficacy of a novel social propagation intervention which integrates social network induction with health education for weight and metabolic control among patients with type 2 diabetes, BMI of 25-30+, and cardiovascular disease. The intervention takes place in the form of a community health program, where participants who enroll in this program will be asked if they would like to take part in the study to evaluate its efficacy. Thus, the investigators will study the efficacy of social networks in propagating changes in lifestyle factors for diabetes and chronic disease management
