Real-world effectiveness of digital and group-based lifestyle interventions as compared with usual care to reduce type 2 diabetes risk - A stop diabetes pragmatic randomised trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No real-world randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have explored the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions based on multiple behaviour change theories and using combined digital and group-based face-to-face delivery to improve risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods

We conducted a one-year, multi-centre, unblinded, pragmatic RCT in primary healthcare using the habit formation, self-determination, and self-regulation theories among 2907 adults aged 18-74 years at increased T2D risk randomised into a digital lifestyle intervention group (DIGI, n = 967), a combined digital and group-based lifestyle intervention group (DIGI+GROUP, n = 971), and a control group receiving usual care (CONTROL, n = 969). We collected data on primary outcomes
