Diabetes Spectr. 2019 Nov;32(4):312-317. doi: 10.2337/ds19-0007.

Abstract

IN BRIEF This review highlights examples of the translation of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to underserved populations. Here, underserved populations are defined as groups whose members are at greater risk for health conditions such as diabetes but often face barriers accessing treatment. Strategies to develop and evaluate future DPP translations are discussed.
