Chinese Diabetes Prevention Program (Chinese DPP)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prediabetes

In brief

This study is being conducted in two phases. The first phase was a pilot implementation of the study protocol, which provided preliminary data from seeking funding for a larger scale trial. The study focused on testing the effects of a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) that has been adapted culturally and linguistically to address diabetes prevention among Chinese immigrants. Study implementation involves a variety capacity building community partnership initiatives. Partnering organizations within New York City (NYC) have included the Chinese Community Partnership for Health (CCPH) of New York Presbyterian Hospital of Lower Manhattan Hospital, the Chinese American Independent Practice Association (CAIPA), the Diabetes Research and Training Center of Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein), and the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Public Health. More recently, our collaboration has expanded the potential for wider dissemination in collaboration with the Pace University Confucius Center of the Confucius Institute. By supporting Chinese language and cultural programs, the Confucius Institute facilitates communication with the 2 billion native Chinese speakers as migration and trade increase interactions globally.
