Perceptions and Experiences of Developing Prediabetes Awareness and Participating in the National Diabetes Prevention Program Among Hispanic US Adults: Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prediabetes conveys an increased risk for subsequently developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a widely available intensive behavioral intervention that decreases the risk of developing T2D in adults with prediabetes. Data are needed to inform approaches to increase prediabetes awareness and National DPP participation. Few studies have explored perceptions and experiences of prediabetes diagnosis and National DPP participation, and none have focused on Hispanic adults and participation in the National DPP as implemented by a community-based organization.

Objective

This study aims to explore perceptions and experiences of developing prediabetes awareness and participating in the National DPP among Hispanic US adults.
