Reach, acceptability, and perceived success of a telehealth diabetes prevention program among racially and ethnically diverse patients with gestational diabetes: the gem cluster-randomized trial.
The purpose of this study was to describe overall and race/ethnicity-specific reach, acceptability, and perceived success from an effective telehealth diabetes prevention lifestyle program for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, implemented in the Gestational Diabetes Effects on Moms (GEM) cluster-randomized controlled trial. An intervention of 13 telephone sessions and behavior change techniques (BCTs) in a healthcare system were tested by GEM. Survey respondents largely rated BCTs as very helpful. Black and White respondents reported more limited success reaching a healthy weight than Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and multiracial/other women. The researchers concluded that a telehealth diabetes prevention lifestyle program showed both reach and acceptability across racial/ethnic groups, and that similar interventions could encourage preventive care access and help reduce disparities in the risk for diabetes.

Development of a computer-aided text message platform for user engagement with a digital diabetes prevention program: a case study.
Investigators partnered with a Digital Diabetes Prevention Programs (dDPP) vendor to develop a personalized automatic message system (PAMS) to promote user engagement to the dDPP platform by sending messages on behalf of the user’s primary care provider. In this article, they discussed the design and development of their system, including key requirements and features, the technical architecture and build, and preliminary user testing.
