Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a lifestyle intervention program on type 2 diabetes risk factors and quality of life in overweight Latino youth.

Detailed description

With the increasing prevalence of obesity, the incidence of obesity-related co-morbidities including depression and type 2 diabetes have emerged as critical public health conditions. Furthermore, Latinos experience a disproportionately greater burden of these obesity-related disorders. Therefore, we have developed a 12-week community-based lifestyle intervention that includes weekly education sessions for children and their parents and 3 exercise sessions per week for youth. The program will be delivered at a local YMCA in the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area.

Conditions

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Lifestyle Education Sessions and Youth Exercise Sessions	The intervention will include a \~1-2 hour weekly education session to address the following constructs: health awareness, healthy eating, physical activity, roles and responsibilities, self-esteem, self-efficacy, diabetes knowledge, communication, and peer / family relationships. In addition to the education classes youth will participate in 3 exercise sessions per week (\~1-1.5 hrs) that will consist of individual and group physical activities to include both aerobic and resistance exercises. The exercise intensity will progressively increase over the 12-week intervention. Both the education and activity sessions will be delivered at the Lincoln Family YMCA.
