The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) demonstrated that a structured diet
and physical activity intervention that achieves and maintains modest weight
loss for overweight adults with impaired glucose tolerance can significantly
reduce the development of diabetes. Although tens of millions of American
adults could benefit from access to the DPP lifestyle intervention, there
currently is no available model for nationwide dissemination of this highly
beneficial and cost-effective approach to diabetes prevention. In this
article, the authors describe the evolution of adaptations to improve DPP
lifestyle intervention implementation and dissemination by a strong community
partner, the YMCA. They also provide information about early field research
and an ongoing clinical trial that will provide information about the
feasibility and effectiveness of applying this new model on a national
scale.
