Summary

This study uses patient engagement to develop a diabetes prevention program focused on adolescents and families.

Detailed description

Due to increases in obesity, the onset of type 2 diabetes is occurring at an ever-younger age, and is associated with poor outcomes and rising costs, which emphasizes the need for prevention at earlier ages. To address this need, the investigators designed the ENCOURAGE Healthy Families curriculum; a program based on the scientifically proven U.S. Diabetes Prevention Program, and while data demonstrate a reduction in obesity and diabetes risk for mothers and their children, the investigators have encountered several barriers to widespread implementation, including: 1. helping youth/families understand the importance of prevention, 2. on-going interest and participation, and 3. differing personal beliefs. Patient-centered research is needed to better understand what adolescents/families want in prevention initiatives, who should deliver program content, where and when to deliver programs in the community, and how adolescents/families wish to be informed of results. The investigators believe that by engaging patients and the community in the development process, the investigators will be able to obtain workable answers to these questions at a population level for high-risk youth/families in "real world" settings.
