The Dietary Guidelines 3 Diets Study
Ensuring the Cultural Relevance of Dietary Guidelines Diet Patterns Among African Americans: Increasing Dietary Quality and Reducing Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this project is to use a two-stepped study to examine both the adoption of the three dietary patterns as presented by the United States Dietary Guidelines (USDG) and testing of a refined, culturally tailored one-year intervention examining the three diet patterns. For this study, African American adult participants with overweight/obesity and ≥three type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk factors will be recruited to participate in this two-step study. This present study is for our Step 1: formative pilot work to culturally-tailor a dietary intervention of the three healthy eating patterns presented by the USDG for 12 weeks: 1) U.S.-Style, 2) Mediterranean, or 3) Vegetarian.
