Our Studies

Thank you for your interest in our study! This study is being conducted by the HEART Lab in partnership with the University of Utah National Diabetes Prevention Program.

We want to learn more about partners working together to change their lifestyle. If you and your partner are eligible and interested in participating in the study, you will have an equal chance (like the flip of a coin) to be put in one of two programs. Both programs give information about preventing diabetes and are CDC-approved National DPP curricula:

• Couple-based program: both partners attend 24 PreventT2 Together classes over the course of 12 months
• Individual program: only partners at high risk for type 2 diabetes attend 24 PreventT2 classes over the course of 12 months

All participating couples will be asked to complete a series of assessments over the course of approximately 14 months. Each partner will be compensated up to $220 by preloaded debit card and up to $275 in electronic gift cards for completion of the assessments. There is no charge for the classes for study participants (valued at approximately $500)

We anticipate classes will start every 6 months beginning in February 2025.
