Small Steps for Big Changes: Implementing an Evidence-Based Diabetes Prevention Program Into Diverse Urban Communities
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Small Steps for Big Changes (SSBC) is a diet and exercise counselling program that significantly reduces the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). In partnership with YMCAs in Canada spanning 8 provinces, the aim of this study is to scale-up program delivery and evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of SSBC. To evaluate implementation, the number of staff trained/patients enrolled, attendance, sessions delivered as planned, delivery costs, and number of sites continuing to deliver the program will be examined. To evaluate program effectiveness, changes in patient health (e.g., T2D status, blood glucose, weight, exercise, diet) will be measured over 2 years following program completion.
