About this study

Official title: Weight Loss in Primary Care: a Translation of the Diabetes Prevention Program

The purpose of this study is to determine if primary care based, telephone-delivered weight loss interventions are effective.

Read the detailed description

Obesity is related to the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes. Cost-effective interventions leading to sustained weight loss are needed to improve the public health and reverse the alarming rise in diabetes, its cardiovascular complications and other obesity-related illnesses. The Diabetes Prevention Program is identified as a model for a successful weight loss intervention. The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial of 2 active telephone-based interventions based on the Diabetes Prevention Model that will be delivered at primary care sites.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Individual telephone interventionBehavioural

    Individually administered telephone-based weight loss intervention based on the Diabetes Prevention Program (weekly nurse calls for the first 5 weeks, then monthly, to cover the 16 topics from the Diabetes Prevention Program). In year 1 (after the first 5 weeks), the "coach" will have 3 weekly calls per month with participants. Contact will decrease to monthly in year 2. In year 3 there will be no contact arranged by study staff.

  • Group telephone interventionBehavioural

    Group education conference calls administered weight loss intervention based on the Diabetes Prevention Program (weekly nurse calls for the first 5 weeks, then monthly, to cover the 16 topics from the Diabetes Prevention Program). In year 1 (after the first 5 weeks), the "coach" will have 3 weekly calls per month with participants. Contact will decrease to monthly in year 2. In year 3 there will be no contact arranged by study staff.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Weight

    Weight (kg)

    Measured: baseline, 1, 2, 3 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Blood Pressure

    Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) / Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)

    Measured: baseline, 1, 2, 3 years

  2. Fasting Lipid Panel

    LDL-cholesterol (mg/dL)

    Measured: baseline, 1, 2, 3 years

  3. Fasting Glucose Level

    Fasting glucose (mg/dL)

    Measured: baseline, 1, 2, 3 years

  4. Health Behaviors (Diet, Physical Activity)

    National Cancer Institute Fat screener

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 and 2 years

  5. SF-12 Physical Summary Score

    The impact of physical health on overall quality of life; higher score reflects better quality of life. Range 0-100 (0 indicates the lowest level and 100 the highest level of health).

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 and 2 years

  6. International Physical Activity Questionnaire

    Measure of physical activity is calculated as in mets/week

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 and 2 years
