Clinical Trial Summary

This initiative, which is a partnership between State College area Penn State Health ambulatory care clinics located off campus in the State College area, has two primary goals: 1) improve the health and quality of life of Penn State Health patients with pre-diabetes and 2) decrease associated health care costs due to type 2 diabetes and its complications. The results from the study may serve as a model for additional chronic disease prevention programs to implement in additional Penn State Health clinics in the future.


Clinical Trial Description

Through this initiative, providers in Penn State Health ambulatory health care clinics (PSH clinics) will identify pre-diabetic patients to take part in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), modeled after the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) program. The DPP is a CDC-recognized lifestyle change program developed specifically to prevent type 2 diabetes. It is designed for people who have prediabetes or are at risk for type 2 diabetes, but who do not already have diabetes. We will be using the DPP distance learning program which allows online delivery of classes. A trained lifestyle coach leads the program to help subjects change certain aspects of their lifestyle, like eating healthier, reducing stress, and getting more physically activity. The program also includes group support. The DPP is a year-long program focused on long-term changes and lasting results. Key components of the program include a CDC-approved curriculum with lessons, handouts, and other resources; a lifestyle coach, specifically trained to lead the program; and a support group of people with similar goals and challenges. To that end, this study has multiple arms that will test whether participation in the PSH DPP - and exposure to motivational messages that encourage physical activity or participation in lotteries, an increasingly common strategy for behavioral motivation, - significantly improves program retention and health-related outcomes, compared to those who only participate in the PSH DPP. ;
