Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-month community-based prediabetes lifestyle and behaviour change intervention (called, PREPARE) for middle and older adults with prediabetes will result in positive lifestyle behaviour change.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This community-based, healthy lifestyle project targets middle (30-59) and older (60+) adults with prediabetes - a population known to be at high risk for Type 2 diabetes development.

This project aims to create, deliver and evaluate a six month interdisciplinary education and lifestyle improvement intervention that emphasizes goal-setting and self-management approaches to inform, engage, monitor and support adults with prediabetes in making positive lifestyle changes within the London (Ontario, Canada) community.

Participants are encouraged to reflect on their current lifestyle, resources and barriers, increase skills, motivation, and awareness of community resources, and make positive lifestyle changes. Based on a solid partnership between both community - health service providers and Brescia University College, the Prediabetes Initiative aims at empowering individuals with prediabetes through self-management approaches to reduce behaviours known to contribute to Type 2 diabetes development.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PREPARE education program

This is a 6-month program that consists of monthly nutrition and physical activity education sessions (2 hours per session) and includes interactive hands-on activities to help you gain knowledge and skills to make positive lifestyle choices. It is a pilot study to test the effectiveness of this type of health-care program in individuals with prediabetes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PREPARE education program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PREPARE stands for "Prediabetes Research and Education Promoting Activity and Responsible Eating" and is a 6-month community-based prediabetes lifestyle and behaviour change intervention program. It includes a series of six interactive education sessions of two hours each on healthy eating and physical activity.

Control arm

Individuals self-selecting the control arm receive the current standard of care for prediabetes, which is a one-time 2-hour group education session. In addition, the individuals are asked to provide some information at baseline and 6 months and 1 year later. The information collected will include a record of dietary and physical activity habits and whether or not they have developed Type 2 diabetes.

Group Type OTHER

standard of care presentation

Intervention Type OTHER

A one-time 2-hour group prediabetes education session, offered as the standard for individuals referred for prediabetes in London, Ontario (Canada)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adults; 30 years of age or older, residing in the London (Ontario, Canada) or surrounding area (including Middlesex), who currently have prediabetes diagnosed by their health care provider (e.g. family physician) and who have been referred to the Diabetes Education Centre of St. Joseph's Health Care London by a physician.
* Eligible participants must not be currently participating in another lifestyle or behaviour change education or research program; must be able to perform low impact physical activity; must be able to eat a balanced diet; must not be lactating or pregnant; and must be able to understand English enough to participate in the educational discussions and activities and to fill in required questionnaires.
* Eligible participants must not be diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, or any condition (e.g. cancer, etc) or behavioural or psychiatric issues (such as a diagnosis of major depression, eating disorder, schizophrenia or other mental illness) as this will prevent full engagement in the program.

Exclusion Criteria

* Non-adults; adults of less than 30 years of age; adults residing outside the London (Ontario, Canada) and surrounding area; adults who do not currently have a diagnosis of prediabetes and have not been referred to the Diabetes Education Centre of St. Joseph's Health Care London by a physician
* Individuals currently participating in another lifestyle or behaviour change education or research program.
* Not being able to perform low impact physical activity, such as being chair-bound or having low mobility;
* Being unable to chew and digest food normally and to eat a balanced diet (e.g. being on a specialized diet such as a low-fiber diet or enteral nutrition support due to a pre-existing condition, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease or other digestive disease);
* Currently lactating or being pregnant;
* Being unable to understand, read and write the English language; or
* Having a diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, or any condition (e.g. cancer, etc) or behavioural or psychiatric issues (such as a diagnosis of major depression, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, eating disorder not otherwise specified \[EDNOS\], schizophrenia or other mental illness) that would prevent full engagement in the program.
