Abstract | AIMS: To describe National Diabetes Prevention Program ( NDPP) uptake, retention, and outcomes by enrollee characteristics and program type. METHODS: We studied 776 adult University of Michigan employees, dependents, and retirees with prediabetes and overweight or obesity who enrolled in one of four CDC-recognized NDPPs at no out-of-pocket cost. Programs included 1) an in-person classroom-based program led by certified diabetes educators in an endocrinology outpatient clinic; 2) an in-person classroom-based program led by trained peer instructors in community settings; 3) an in-person fitness-focused program led by trained lifestyle coaches; and 4) an online digital program led by personal health coaches with virtual group meetings. Data from the insurer and surveys were analyzed. RESULTS: Older individuals with hypertension and cardiovascular disease were more likely to enroll in classroom-based programs. Program time, location, and perceived focus on diet or physical activity influenced program selection. Retention, weight loss, and physical activity were greater among enrollees in in-person classroom-based programs. Changes in blood pressure, lipid levels, self-rated health, and health-related quality-of-life did not differ by program, nor did Type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with prediabetes who enrolled in a NDPP achieved health benefits regardless of the type of program they chose.
