  One-arm feasibility pilot of a nutrition intervention to recruit, engage, and retain DPP participants in the safety-net setting in Los Angeles

  This clinical trial incorporates a behavioral intervention as the primary outcome of Aim 3 is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of adding an educational intervention using nutritional demonstrations aligned with the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum among patients who are at-risk for prediabetes. The purpose of this study is to assess if having a nutritional demonstration as part of the DPP would be accepted by clinic DPP patients and hear their perspectives about if this would help them in achieving DPP goals of achieving at least 5% weight loss and implementing sustainable lifestyle changes with healthy eating to reduce their risk of prediabetes. The intervention is designed to encourage healthier eating habits and encourage clinic DPP patients to incorporate this into their daily lives. This study will also determine if it is feasible to incorporate nutritional demonstrations to enhance the existing DPP curriculum
