Study Summary
A large body of research has demonstrated that intensive lifestyle interventions and metformin are effective treatments to prevent or delay diabetes among high-risk adults, yet neither treatment is routinely used in practice. The Behavioral Nudges for Diabetes Prevention (BEGIN) Trial will test two low-touch interventions designed to motivate adoption of these treatments to prevent diabetes. Given that 38% of U.S. adults have prediabetes, the proposed study has potential for large public health impact by testing pragmatic, scalable, and sustainable approaches based in primary care to promote evidence-based treatment for this common condition.
Primary Outcome
Mean differences in weight (lbs) between treatment arms will be evaluated using mixed models adjusted for clinic site, time between visits, sex, age, race/ethnicity, and baseline cardiometabolic markers
