About this study

Official title: Changing Lifestyles for Better Health: A Model Program for Community Health Centers

The purpose of this research collaboration between Dr. William Tamborlane, Deputy Directory of the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI) and Fair Haven Community Health Center's (FHCHC) Diabetes Prevention Team is to determine the efficacy of an intensive life-style intervention (ILI) program that has been developed and implemented at the FHCHC to prevent the development of diabetes.

Read the detailed description

This project is a clinical outcome study that merges the expertise of a senior Yale clinical investigator, the clinical and translational research resources of YCCI, the clinical and community expertise of the FHCHC Diabetes Team, and the high-need patient population of FHCHC. In addition to determining the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an ILI for diabetes prevention in an inner-city community health center setting, this project will evaluate the effectiveness of pooling academic expertise with direct clinical services to disadvantaged, at-risk populations.

What participants receive

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

  • Intensive Lifestyle InterventionBehavioural

    Women with pre-diabetes randomized to the ILI will attend an intensive 12-week group program of nutritional education, diet, behavior modification and structured exercise, which is based on the published curriculum from the DPP "Lifestyle Balance" program, but modified for a group format and to be more culturally and linguistically appropriate for this population.

Intensive Life-Style CounselingExperimentalWomen with pre-diabetes randomized to the ILI will attend an intensive 12-week group program of nutritional education, diet, behavior modification and structured exercise, which is based on the published curriculum from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) "Lifestyle Balance" program, but modified for a group format and to be more culturally and linguistically appropriate for this population.
Receives: Behavioral: Intensive Lifestyle Intervention
Usual Care ControlNo interventionWomen with pre-diabetes randomized to usual care will be offered 30 minute appointments with a medical provider to review their diagnosis, risk for diabetes, and stress the importance of lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes, including weight loss and exercise and setting individual goals for these. Usual care participants will be encouraged to achieve goals equivalent to the ILI group: to reduce their weight by 7%, and to increase their physical activity to approximately 150 minutes moderate intensity exercise per week. They will be offered a consultation with an FHCHC nutritionist to achieve dietary/weight loss objectives. Participants are offered printed educational materials which are language and literacy-appropriate.
