What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate changes in diabetes-related risk factors among Black adolescent girls at risk for type 2 diabetes and their primary female caregivers. The study focuses on how participating in a 12-week in-person lifestyle program may affect diet quality and other health measures in these groups. The program targets adolescent girls with obesity who self-identify as Black or African American, along with their female caregivers. The intervention involves adolescent-caregiver pairs attending weekly sessions for 12 weeks. Each week includes a 90-minute in-person Wellness Session with mindfulness, nutrition lessons, dance classes, and program reflection, followed by a 60-minute at-home cooking experience using ingredients provided during the Wellness Session. The program aims to improve lifestyle habits through this combined approach. Participants will be assessed before and after the program for changes in diet quality using the Healthy Eating Index Scores, dermal carotenoid levels, physical activity levels, body composition, and glycemic measures such as HbA1c. Other measures include lipid profiles, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist circumference, and blood pressure status. The study monitors these factors at baseline and after 12 weeks to understand the program's impact on risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
