Measure
Individual Calls
Individually administered weight loss intervention, based on the Diabetes Prevention Program, delivered by telephone in primary care practices. Individual telephone intervention: Individually administered telephone-based weight loss intervention based on the Diabetes Prevention Program (weekly nurse calls for the first 5 weeks, then monthly, to cover the 16 topics from the Diabetes Prevention Program). In year 1 (after the first 5 weeks), the "coach" will have 3 weekly calls per month with participants. Contact will decrease to monthly in year 2. In year 3 there will be no contact arranged by study staff.
Conference Calls
Group education conference calls to deliver the weight loss intervention, based upon the Diabetes Prevention Program, in primary care practices. Group telephone intervention: Group education conference calls administered weight loss intervention based on the Diabetes Prevention Program (weekly nurse calls for the first 5 weeks, then monthly, to cover the 16 topics from the Diabetes Prevention Program). In year 1 (after the first 5 weeks), the "coach" will have 3 weekly calls per month with participants. Contact will decrease to monthly in year 2. In year 3 there will be no contact arranged by study staff.
