Spanish-speaking participants in the National Diabetes Prevention Program need support to make and sustain changes that profoundly improve, reduce risks of, and even reverse chronic disease. This session describes a partnership with the Black Women’s Health Imperative and supported by CDC’s 1705 cooperative agreement that embeds in-person lifestyle change programs in churches serving Hispanic participants. The presenter will share how they enrolled and retained participants and will give Insights into delivering the program in faith-based settings. Finally, attendees will learn about outcomes and additional work planned to expand enrollment and retention.
