This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study, called FIGHT for Life, is testing whether a family-based health program can help Black parents with prediabetes lose weight and reduce their diabetes risk. Both parents and children participate in weekly classes tailored specifically for their age group, learning about nutrition, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle changes. The program combines proven diabetes prevention methods with lessons designed just for families.
Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects Black families, and current prevention programs weren't designed with families in mind. This study exists to test whether teaching parents and children together creates better results and helps more families stick with healthy changes.

You and your child would attend weekly meetings for 16 weeks, then continue follow-up visits over a 20-month period. During sessions, parents learn from the Diabetes Prevention Program curriculum while children take part in an adapted version of the same lessons. Together, your family will work on making changes to eating habits and physical activity, with support from researchers and community leaders who understand your community's needs.
