Adapting and Assessing the Feasibility of a Telehealth Diabetes Prevention Program for Hispanic Adolescents
Sponsor: Baylor College of Medicine
Summary
Hispanic adolescents are disproportionately burdened by type 2 diabetes (T2D). Social determinants of health (SDoH) serve as barriers to behavior change and participation in disease prevention efforts, especially among vulnerable adolescents. Telehealth is a potentially effective approach for delivering disease prevention programs as it addresses some SDoH like transportation, childcare needs, and parent work schedules. Unfortunately, there are no theory- or evidence-based telehealth diabetes prevention program for Hispanic adolescents. Therefore the purpose of this study is to adapt an evidence-based diabetes prevention program for delivery via telehealth and to test the feasibility of this study among Hispanic adolescents (12-16 years) with obesity.
