Aim 1: To compare the effectiveness of the traditional Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)-Life
style Intervention (LI) and the Pacific DPP-LI among Marshallese living in Arkansas using a
randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 378 overweight or obese, pre-diabetic participants
where the unit of randomization is at the individual level. The primary outcome measure is
percent weight loss relative to pre-intervention baseline weight. As selected by
stakeholders, HbA1c, blood pressure, physical activity, and dietary intake will be evaluated
as secondary outcome measures. Self-efficacy and social/family support will be examined as
mediating variables. Data collection will take place at baseline (pre-intervention), six
months (post-intervention), and 12-months (six months after the post-intervention to assess
maintenance).
Aim 2: To continue engaging Marshallese stakeholders in all aspects of research.
Aim 3: To collaboratively and creatively disseminate results to a broad group of
stakeholders, locally and nationally.
