Summary

The purpose of this pilot trial is to compare feasibility and effectiveness of remote delivery (social media or video conferencing) of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (N-DPP) to adults in rural communities. The research team will train a Kansas State Research and Extension staff to deliver the video conferencing arm while a research team member will lead the social media arm.

Detailed description

This pilot trial will compare the feasibility and effectiveness of DPP delivered through Facebook (DPP-FB) or group format delivered remotely by Zoom (DPP-R) in adults in rural communities. Both interventions will recruit through the Corporative Extension Service (CES), which serves as the community outreach arm of all land grant universities through over 2,900 offices across the U.S. The Kansas State Research and Extension (KSRE) (Kansas version of CES), is well positioned, but underutilized for the delivery of DPP in rural areas. Delivery of DPP by a well-recognized entity, such as the KSRE, may improve the probability of dissemination and long-term program sustainability. Two CES offices serving rural counties in Kansas will be randomized (1:1) to the DPP-FB or DPP-R arms. Our research team will train one professional staff from KSRE (with backgrounds in nutrition programming and family consumer science) to deliver the DPP-R intervention. A research team member will deliver the DPP-FB intervention. This project will address the following aims: Primary aim: Compare weight and MVPA between DPP-FB and DPP-R across 6 mos. The investigators expect greater weight loss and MVPA in the DPP-R arm compared with the DPP-FB arm. Secondary aim: Compare the feasibility of DPP-FB and DPP-R across 6 mos. based on participant retention and program attendance. The investigators expect greater participant retention and program attendance in the DPP-R arm compared with the DPP-FB arm.
