Delivering the National Diabetes Prevention Program: Assessment of Retention, Physical Activity, and Weight Loss Outcomes by Participant Characteristics and Delivery Modes.

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects older adults, persons from racial and ethnic minority groups, and persons of low socioeconomic status. It can be prevented or delayed through evidence-based interventions such as the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program (LCP).

Across all delivery modes, there were generally no substantial differences in retention between male and female participants, but male participants
