Families Implementing Good Health Traditions for Life is a research study that helps Black families in Southwest Georgia reduce the risk of getting type 2 diabetes. The study uses a special program called the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), which is designed especially for families. The study aims to help adults and children work together to stay healthy and prevent diabetes. If you join this study, you will work with researchers and community members to learn new healthy habits.

This study is looking for Black families with a parent or guardian aged 18 or older and a child aged 8-15. The parent should have prediabetes, which means their blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes. The study lasts for 20 months, and families need to be able to exercise and be willing to stay in the area during that time.

• The study lasts 20 months, requiring commitment and no plans to move.
• It includes physical activities and healthy lifestyle changes.
• Participants should not have severe health conditions or be pregnant.
