Promotora intervention for metabolic and mental health to reduce type 2 diabetes risk: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a novel behavioral intervention (PRIME2) that integrates evidence-based approaches for reducing diabetes risk and perceived stress. We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial of the 16-session PRIME2 intervention vs. usual care among 40 Spanish-speaking Latinx adults with prediabetes and body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m². The 3-month change in weight and perceived stress were co-primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes were 3-month changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood pressure, and depressive symptoms. Study participants were women (95%) with mean age 49.9 (± 9.3) years, moderate levels of perceived stress, and risk factors for diabetes, including mean BMI 33.3 (± 5.4) kg/m² and elevated HbA1c [mean 6.0% (±
