PY - 2024 TI - Reach and Weight Loss Among Comparison Group Participants Who Enrolled in the Active Intervention After a Diabetes Prevention Trial T2 - Preventing Chronic Disease JO - Prev Chronic Dis SP - E40 VL - 21 CY - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia 30333, USA. N2 - We examined participation rates, engagement, and weight-loss outcomes of comparison group participants in a diabetes prevention trial who enrolled in a digitally delivered diabetes prevention program (ie, an active intervention) after the original trial ended. We evaluated these outcomes by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and 1-sample z test. We found a high participation rate (73%) among comparison group participants and comparable weight-loss outcomes at 12 months (6.8 lb) after initiating participation in the active intervention relative to intervention group participants during the original trial. Findings support providing evidence-based interventions for comparison or control group participants post-trial. Findings also support examining the cost-effectiveness of post-trial interventions, regardless of the limitations of acquiring post-trial data on weight in an uncontrolled setting.
