Better Together Study
Better Together: A Patient-centered Approach to Improve Diabetes Among Immigrant Communities
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Mar 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study (Aim 1) seeks to test that a culturally-tailored lifestyle intervention is feasible and acceptable for immigrant men from South Asia and West Africa. This will be a pre-post pilot study of a 16-week lifestyle program for South Asians and West Africans with prediabetes or diabetes in Atlanta. Patients will participate in health-professional-led group visits every other week focused on improving dietary and exercise practices to reduce weight. Groups will be followed at baseline, 4 months and 12 months. Groups will be separated by region of origin (i.e. separate groups for South Asians and West Africans). For Aim 2,the study team will assess intervention spillover effects among participant's self-identified social networks. The study team will ask participants in Aim 1 to name 5 people in their social networks to participate in a survey of health behaviors at baseline and 12-months to assess health behavior practices.
