About this study
Official title: Leveraging Recreational Basketball to Increase Participation in the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) Among Adults Aged 18-44 Years at Kaiser Permanente Georgia
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of adapting the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) to include recreational sports in effort to increase physical activity (PA) and promote lifestyle changes that can help reduce the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The hypothesis is that both the traditional NDPP and the NDPP+ Basketball will be considered feasible. The primary outcome is to assess whether the intervention (NDPP+BB) compared to the standard of care (NDPP only) will result in greater weight loss, lower A1c, and increased engagement in physical activity.
Read the detailed description
The NDPP has successfully helped to reduce the rate of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) through moderate weight loss and increased physical activity(PA). Kaiser Permanente Georgia (KPGA) members, identified as being at risk to develop type 2 diabetes will be recruited to participate in the intervention trial testing DPP vs. NDPP+ BB study arms. Participants will be randomized into 1 of 2 groups (traditional DPP curriculum or DPP + basketball).
The central objective of this project is to determine the feasibility of adapting the NDPP to include recreational basketball as an exercise component among KPGA population of overweight, pre-diabetic adults ages 18-44 using novel translational science approach and qualitative formative research tools. The secondary objective is to implement the adapted NDPP + BB program among a pre-diabetic KPGA adult members, 18-44 years living in Atlanta and determine post-program efficacy in achieving the desired 5 percent weight loss goal.
The objective is to contribute beneficial information to clinical and operational leaders across KP and beyond, as they consider approaches to improve overall participation rates in the NDPP, particularly for young and middle-aged adult members, leveraging interest in a popular recreational team-based sport such as BB. Longer-term, the goal is to reduce diabetes risk.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
NDPP + Basketball (BB)Behavioural
Also called DPP Hoops
DPP Hoops: Participants in this arm will participate in the traditional NDPP program delivered virtually by certified NDPP coaches along with virtual fitness sessions and in-person basketball sessions. During Months 1-4, participants will attend a 60-minute virtually facilitated session of the NDPP curriculum, followed by a 30- minute virtual fitness session. During that same week, participants will meet in person, for a 90-minute BB session. During Months 5-8, virtual NDPP curriculum sessions will be held every two weeks and there will no longer be a 30-minute online fitness session succeeding the session. During this same four-month period, 60-minute, in-person BB sessions will be held weekly. During Months 9-12, participants will attend a monthly 60-minute NDPP curriculum session and biweekly 60-minute in-person BB sessions. Participants will submit a weekly weight report during the 12 month participation and will complete the ASA 24 hour food recall every 90 days.
NDPP Standard of Care SOCBehavioural
Also called NDPP, Diabetes Prevention Program DPP
DPP: Participants in this arm will participate in the traditional NDPP program delivered virtually by certified NDPP coaches. During Months 1-4 participants will attend a 60-minute virtually facilitated session of the NDPP curriculum. During Months 5-8, virtual NDPP curriculum sessions will be held every two weeks. During Months 9-12, participants will attend a monthly 60-minute NDPP curriculum session. Participants will submit a weekly weight report during the 12 month participation and will complete the ASA 24 hour food recall every 90 days.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing NDPP + Basketball (BB) in people with Type 2 Diabetes and PreDiabetes, run by Kaiser Permanente at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percent Weight Loss Efficacy (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
