Scale-Up Evaluation Trial of the Diabetes Prevention Program to Improve Obesity and Cardiometabolic Health After Traumatic Brain Injury
Baylor Research Institute
Summary
We have proposed targeted efforts to address the feasibility, effectiveness, fidelity, and evaluation of the GLB-TBI Evidence Based Intervention (EBI) in a real world setting at a CDC-recognized site
Description
Despite strong efficacy data, CDC recognition of our modified curricula, and online training modules, efforts to ensure the systematic adoption of our GLB-TBI evidence based intervention (EBI) in real-world settings (i.e., CDC-recognized sites) remain limited, yet are critically needed. The proposed scale-up evaluation trial is an important and logical next step in this systematic line of research to increase the impact and scope of our GLB-TBI EBI. We have proposed targeted efforts to address the feasibility, effectiveness, fidelity, and evaluation of the GLB-TBI EBI in a real world setting a…

Interventions
- BehavioralGroup Lifestyle Balance for People with TBI (GLB-TBI)
The GLB-TBI is a one-year program with 22 sessions. It begins with 12 weekly sessions called the Core Program, followed by a Transition phase consisting of 2 bi-weekly and 2 monthly sessions, and a Support Phase consisting of 6 monthly sessions. The GLB-TBI is a modification of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB) with modifications specifically for people with a Traumatic Brain Injury
