Obesity Clinical Trial - Healthy Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Diabetes and obesity are both major public health concerns and the prevalence of diabetes is even higher in the patient population of the Veterans Administration. This planning project is designed to adapt a successful weight-loss program for delivery through an existing outpatient clinic to reach local Veterans at risk for developing diabetes. The information gathered as a part of this project will be used to plan a larger trial designed to improve the health of Veterans by offering them a diabetes prevention program through their usual source of healthcare.

Clinical Trial Description

Type II diabetes and its complications disproportionately affect the patient population served by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Recent lifestyle interventions have demonstrated that weight-loss achieved through reductions in calorie intake and increases in physical activity can prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. The Healthy Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes (HELP PD), a community-based adaptation of the lifestyle intervention used in the Diabetes Prevention Program, achieved more than a 7% weight loss at 6 months.

In HELP Vets, researchers will test the feasibility of further translating the HELP PD lifestyle intervention, tailored for use in the Veteran population, in the Kernersville Community-Based Outpatient Clinic operated by the VA. The investigators plan to recruit 50 overweight or obese Veterans at high risk for developing diabetes from the existing patient population to participate in a 6-month weight loss intervention led by community health workers who are also Veterans. As VA outpatient clinics have the requisite infrastructure to identify, screen, and enroll participants and access to Veteran community health workers from within their patient populations, they are ideal potential homes for diabetes prevention programming. Data gathered during this planning grant will be used to develop a large-scale study to test implementing the HELP Vets intervention in a larger segment of the Veteran population. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
