Lawrence Latino Diabetes Prevention Project

The Lawrence Latino Diabetes Prevention Project (LLDPP) is a community-based translational research study which aims to reduce the risk of diabetes among Latinos who have a \>30% probability of developing diabetes in the next 7.5 years per a predictive equation. The project was conducted in Lawrence, Massachusetts; a predominantly Caribbean-origin urban Latino community. Individuals were identified primarily from a community health center\'s patient panel, screened for study eligibility, randomized to either a usual care or a lifestyle intervention condition, and followed for one year.
