Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from Emory Family Medicine Center. Participant enrollment began on April 4, 2022, and all follow-up assessments were completed by January 1, 2024 The study was a quasi-experimental design to understand preferences in this community. The PI offered a men-only group with very little interest in this group thus this arm was never carried forward. No subjects were enrolled in this group. Men-only group was not supposed to be a comparator arm.

Dyads
This is a pragmatic, pre-post, pilot study. Participants will meet in groups of 12 for the SMA intervention at the conference room at the Emory Family Medicine Center in Dunwoody, Georgia. The intervention will consist of bi-weekly sessions over a 16-week period, with phone check-ins for the remaining weeks. Each session will last 60-90 minutes, and participants will engage in a total of 6 televisit sessions. Sessions will consist of a group-based program for all participants, followed by a personalized care plan, led by a physician. In this dyad-based group, participant's social partner must commit to attend all in-person sessions. Intensive lifestyle interventions (ILIs): Intensive lifestyle interventions (ILIs) is a group-based programs designed to promote weight loss through a combination of diet, activity, and behavior change, decrease Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) incidence in people with prediabetes and reduced complications among people with T2D.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 6

Population: No data was collected from the support group for this Outcome measure.

Questionnaires assessed participant perceptions of ILI after the program to evaluate satisfaction with the program and suggestions for program improvement. Acceptability will be assessed by quantifying Likert-like scales of satisfaction of overall intervention. This is a 0 to 5 scale, where "0" represents the least level of satisfaction and "5" represents the highest level of satisfaction.

Changes in diet will be measured using the Rapid Eating and Activity Assessment for Participants short version (REAP-S). The REAP-S consists of 13 scored questions. Responses of 'usually/often' receive 1 point, 'sometimes' receives 2 points, and 'rarely/never or does not apply to me' receives 3 points. Possible scores ranged from 13 to 39 with a higher score indicating a higher diet quality.
