Behavioral Treatment to Reduce Obesity and Prevent Type 2 Diabetes in Latinas with Prediabetes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a behavioral treatment program called Regulation of Cues ROC adapted specifically for Latinas with prediabetes. The study aims to see if this program can help treat prediabetes, prevent the development of Type 2 Diabetes, and reduce weight in this population. The research is sponsored by the University of California, San Diego and focuses on a novel approach addressing appetite and eating behavior traits. The ROC program includes appetite awareness training and cue-exposure treatment tailored for Latinas. Participants will attend 14 treatment sessions over approximately four months. This behavioral intervention is designed to help participants better manage their nutrition, cravings, and eating patterns. There is no placebo group or masking involved in this study. Participants will be involved in attending treatment sessions and providing feedback on whether they found the treatment helpful. Their attendance at all 14 sessions during the four-month treatment period will also be tracked. The primary outcomes include participant ratings of the treatments helpfulness and session attendance. The study runs from March 2026 to June 2027 and focuses on Latinas aged 18 to 55 with prediabetes and obesity.
