NCT04757519

Brief Summary

This study seeks to establish the efficacy of identifying weight loss nonresponders early in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) intervention in 20 community settings (primarily churches and community centers) and providing them with individual-level, enhanced treatment through telephone contacts and access to additional resources. Additionally, potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between intervention status and weight loss response at 6 months in both nonresponders and responders will be examined and a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the cost of the intervention will be conducted. This study addresses key gaps in the literature about the weight loss effects of identifying nonresponders early and characterizing individuals who need more intense personalized strategies. The investigators hypothesize that changes between baseline and 3 months will be more pronounced among the nonresponders in the intervention group compared to the nonresponders in the active control group.

Intervention week 4, weight loss non-responders defined as weight loss less than 1% receive weekly telephone intervention, using motivational interviewing techniques to provide social support, assess barriers, resolve ambivalence, and support the participant in developing personal strategies. Additionally, this intervention includes weekly phone calls using motivational interviewing techniques to provide social support, assess barriers, resolve ambivalence, and support the participant in developing personal strategies.
