Summary

The aim of this study is to look at changes in diabetes-related risk factors in Black adolescent girls who are at risk for type 2 diabetes and their primary female caregiver after both participating in a 12-week telehealth lifestyle program.

Detailed description

Enrolled adolescent/caregiver dyads will participate in the 12-week program. Each week, participants will engage in 2 activities: a live virtual Wellness Session and an at-home cooking experience using ingredients sent to them via grocery delivery service. The study will examine the pre-post difference in overall diet quality, dermal carotenoid levels, physical activity, body composition, and glycemic measures among at-risk black adolescent girls and their caregivers. Investigators hypothesize that after the program, participants' diets will be higher in quality than before.
