Abstract
The National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) is a partnership of public and private organizations working to build a nationwide delivery system for a lifestyle change program (LCP), which is proved to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes. Through this program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) establishes partnerships with organizations to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by using the evidence-based and audience-tailored LCP. The DP17-1705 cooperative agreement aims to expand the reach of the program in underserved areas and to populations currently underrepresented in the program relative to their risk. This article highlights a successful adaptation of the National DPP PreventT2 curriculum to address the needs of women who are Black funded by this cooperative agreement. The Change your Lifestyle, Change your Life (CYL2) program resulted from a partnership between CDC and the Black Women's Health Imperative. Successes and challenges associated with this program are highlighted. Lessons learned from these efforts can be used by practitioners to inform future type 2 diabetes prevention initiatives.
