An interventional study of Promotora-led Intervention (PLI) and Usual care (UC) in PreDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolic Disease, sponsored by Northwestern University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-06-05.

Evidence-based programs to prevent diabetes among high-risk individuals are less effective among those who also have mental health needs. This study involves developing and pilot testing the first adaptation of the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention to simultaneously treat prediabetes and elevated mental health symptoms. This project has large potential to impact public health, given that more than half of the U.S. adult population has either of these conditions, and is at risk for developing comorbid diabetes and mental illness.
The overall goal of this study is to develop an effective and potentially scalable intervention to prevent diabetes in people with elevated mental health symptoms (EMS) and prediabetes. This study focuses on Latinos, a demographic group at particularly high risk for these related conditions. Experience from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), and related translational studies, suggests that the evidence-based DPP lifestyle intervention is less effective among depressed individuals. The proposed Promotora Intervention for Metabolic and Mental Health (PRIME2) will be the first adaptation of the DPP lifestyle intervention to simultaneously address mental health and prediabetes in a program delivered by promotoras, or community health workers.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

PLI -DPP protocol was developed from original DPP materials and culturally tailored for the target population based on formative research. The core PL-DPP curriculum includes 14 group sessions of 90 minutes duration. One promotora will lead each session in Spanish using behavioral strategies to discuss lifestyle behaviors, exploring such topics as being active, low-fat diets, portion control, self monitoring, problem solving and life-style changes.
Behavioral: Promotora-led Intervention (PLI)
UC participants will receive standard educational materials in Spanish discussing mental health and diabetes prevention. UC participants will be encouraged to continue all routine medical care during the study.
Behavioral: Usual care (UC)
Behavioral life-style program with cognitive-behavioral content lead by a team of trained community health workers (called promotoras) with the following principal goals - encouraging participants to lose 7% of their total weight and complete 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week.
Participants in this arm will be given educational materials in spanish discussing mental health and diabetes prevention.
Body Weight
Weight change from baseline.
Time frame: 3 months
Perceived Stress
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a 14-item tool meant to measure how different situations affect participant feelings and perceived stress. Individual scores on the PSS range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from never (0) to almost always (4).The total score reported for each participant. * Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. * Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. * Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.
Time frame: 3 months
Cardiometabolic marker - A1C
Hemoglobin A1C change from baseline measured from a fingerstick capillary blood sample using a DCA 2000/Vantage portable analyzer.
Time frame: 3 months
Cardiometabolic marker - waist circumference
Waist circumference change from baseline assessed using a measuring tape around the top of the iliac crests at end-expiration.
Time frame: 3 months
Beck Depression Inventory
levated depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), a depression screening instrument. The BDI score recorded at the enrollment visit will be considered the baseline BDI score. The last measured BDI score within 3 months after the baseline visit is the follow-up score used to calculate mean BDI change.
Time frame: 3 months

Ran from Aug 2018 to primary completion in Mar 2019, 7 months.
Of 378 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Prediabetic State, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 39. This study's 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 424 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 37.
