Objective: Although the benefits of in-person Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) classes for diabetes prevention have been demonstrated in trials, effectiveness in clinical practice is limited by low participation rates. This study explores whether text message support enhances weight loss in patients offered DPP classes.
Research Design And Methods: English- and Spanish-speaking patients with prediabetes (n = 163) were randomized to the control group, which only received an invitation to DPP classes as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or to the text message-augmented intervention group, which also received text messages adapted from the DPP curriculum for 12 months.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of a popular commercial program with that of a clinic-based intervention for weight loss.
Methods: Randomized clinical trial conducted at an internal medicine clinic affiliated with a city hospital in Denver, Colorado. Participant (n = 46) had a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m(2) and no life-threatening medical conditions.
