National Dpp Questions
Q: Can children under 18 years old attend the National DPP class? The National DPP prediabetes classes are intended for adults 18 years and older. If your child attends with you, its not recommended that they get weighed in or provide any personal information to the lifestyle coach. Data for youth are not sent on to the CDC DPRP. Q: If I have a participant drop out before the first 4 sessions are done, are we able to bring in a new participant at that point as long as they still meet the minimum meeting requirement? Any participant who attended their first session in the effective year, is eligible, attended four or more sessions; and in this case, adheres to the weekly session requirement in the first 16 weeks, will be included for analysis. If you have additional questions or comments, please email [email protected] . Q: When should I conduct a make-up session for a participant who has missed class? CDC strongly recommends that delivery organizations schedule make-up sessions on different days than class days so that participants only attend one session per day. Only one session per day per participant will be evaluated by CDC for recognition purposes, so if there are multiple sessions in one day, they wont all be reflected in your organizations evaluation. For the convenience of the lifestyle coach and participants, make-up sessions can be held over the phone. In this situation, weight and physical activity minutes can be self-reported. If you have additional questions or comments, please email [email protected] . Q: If a participant is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes during my yearlong class, do I submit their data to the DPRP? If your organization has a participant who is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes during the yearlong class, they will need to drop out and seek diab Continue reading >>
Update On The National Diabetes Prevention Program
Today's Dietitian Vol. 18 No. 4 P. 24 Learn what the National DPP is all about and how dietitians can get involved. A massive, multifaceted problem often requires a solution of the same proportions. Diabetes is a health crisis dietitians know well, and the numbers of those who have the disease or may develop it are staggering. But through the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with hundreds of organizations, stakeholders, and trained professionals are working to reach and then help millions of Americans delay and possibly prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. The CDC estimates that 29.1 million Americans have diabetes, and 8 million of them don't even know it. What's worse, prediabetes affects even more people—an estimated 86 million people aged 20 and older. The vast majority, about 90% of people with elevated blood glucose that isn't high enough to be considered diabetes, have yet to be diagnosed. That's crucial, because prediabetes not only puts people at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, it also puts them at higher risk of heart disease and stroke, according to the 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report. But if the CDC and a whole host of other organizations across the country have anything to say about it, type 2 diabetes won't be a reality for the many millions of Americans they seek to reach through the National DPP. What Is the National DPP? Established five years ago, the National DPP is the largest effort of its kind to prevent type 2 diabetes. Managed by the CDC, the National DPP is a framework built on the National Institutes of Health's landmark DPP study that concluded in 2002, which showed lifestyle modifications, including healthful eating, moderate weight loss, an Continue reading >>
National Diabetes Prevention Program
Hudson Headwaters Health Network National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle coaching session. Photo credit: Pepe Productions. The statistics are startling. One in three Americans is pre-diabetic, which translates to more than 110,000,000 individuals affected. Alarmingly, more than 90 percent are unaware that they’re pre-diabetic. The good news is that diabetes is largely preventable. With funding from the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth), AHI partnered with Adirondack Health, Hudson Headwaters Health Network, UVM Health Network – CVPH and Washington County Public Health to launch the National Diabetes Prevention Program. Registered nurse Greg Freeman is the UVM Health Network – CVPH National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) Director AND a participant in the program. After learning of his diabetes risk, Greg followed the NDPP recommendations and lost 81 lbs. Greg is an enthusiastic advocate of the program and one of the participants featured in the new AHI NDPP video showcasing how the program works. Watch the videos The new AHI NDPP video features interviews with a lifestyle coach and program participants explaining how lifestyle changes have made a difference. A second video provides a provider-focus. Watch the AHI NDPP Provider Video. Enrollees in NDPP can expect lifestyle coach support, which teaches how to make better food choices, encourages increased physical activity and importantly creates skills to maintain the newly-learned behaviors to continue to be successful.

About The National Diabetes Prevention Program
ont The CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program is a public-private partnership of community organizations, private insurers, employers, health care organizations, and government agencies. These partners are working together to establish local evidence-based lifestyle change programs for people at high risk for type 2 diabetes. These evidence-based lifestyle change programs are based on the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) research study, which showed that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed through modest lifestyle changes involving healthy eating and physical activity. The lifestyle change program is led by a trained facilitator called a Lifestyle Coach. In the lifestyle change program, participants meet in a group with their Lifestyle Coach over the course of one year to work towards the goal of losing 5 to 7 percent of their starting body weight in order to reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes. The program emphasizes improving food choices, being physically active for at least 150 minutes each week, and developing skills to identify and overcome barriers to making lifestyle changes. Learn more about the National DPP on CDC’s website: The Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) CDC's Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) assures that evidence-based lifestyle change programs are delivered at sites around the country in a high quality way.

Translating The Diabetes Prevention Program: A Comprehensive Model For Prevention Training And Program Delivery - Sciencedirect
Volume 37, Issue 6 , December 2009, Pages 505-511 Translating the Diabetes Prevention Program: A Comprehensive Model for Prevention Training and Program Delivery Author links open overlay panel M. KayeKramerDrPHa Get rights and content The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) demonstrated that lifestyle intervention reduces risk for type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. A universal framework for translation of multiple aspects of the DPP intervention, including training, support, and evaluation is needed to enhance treatment fidelity in a variety of settings. This study aims to develop a comprehensive model for diabetes prevention translation using a modified DPP lifestyle intervention. The DPP lifestyle intervention was adapted to a 12-session group-based program called Group Lifestyle Balance for implementation in the community setting. A model for training and support mirroring that of the DPP was developed for prevention professionals administering the program. The process of training/support and program implementation was evaluated for feasibility and effectiveness using a nonrandomized prospective design in two phases (N=51, Phase 1: 20052006; N=42, Phase 2: 20072009; data analysis completed 20082009). A total of 93 nondiabetic individuals with BMI 25 kg/m2 and the metabolic syndrome or prediabetes participated. Measures were collected at baseline and post-intervention for all and 6 and 12 months post-intervention for Phase 2. Significant decreases in weight, waist circumference, and BMI were noted in both phases from baseline. Participants in Phase 2 also demonstrated decreases in total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure that were maintained at 12 months. Average combined weight loss for both groups over the course of Continue reading >>

Diabetes Prevention Program Community Outreach Perspectives On Lifestyle Training And Translation
Diabetes Prevention Program Community Outreach Perspectives on Lifestyle Training and Translation From the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (Venditti), University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; the Department of Epidemiology (Kramer), Pitt Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Address correspondence to: Elizabeth M. Venditti, PhD, WPIC/UPMC, 3811 OHara Street, Pittsburgh PA 15213. [email protected] The publisher's final edited version of this article is available at Am J Prev Med See other articles in PMC that cite the published article. The gap between what is known from clinical efficacy research and the systematic community translation of diabetes prevention programs is narrowing. During the past 5 years, numerous randomized and nonrandomized dissemination studies have evaluated the modified delivery of structured Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) interventions in diverse real-world settings. Programs of sufficient dose and duration, implemented with fidelity, have reported weight losses in the range of 4%7% with associated improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors at 6 and 12 months from baseline. The current article describes some of the experiences and perspectives of a team of University of Pittsburgh researchers as they have engaged in these efforts. It has been 1 decade since the publication of the main outcomes of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) RCCT. 1 The DPP study of over 3000 participants with impaired glucose tolerance demonstrated that an individually administered 16-session lifestyle intervention, followed by monthly contacts for an average of 2.8 years (in-person visits alternating with mail and phone communication), resulted in modest, sustained weight loss and a significant reduction in cumulative diabet Continue reading >>
