Implication

Retrospective cohort analysis shows increased program participation and weight loss among Latino adults, suggesting community health workers enhance effectiveness.

Key Points

  • Among 1988 participants, those attending ≥16 sessions were more likely to lose weight, emphasizing the importance of engagement.
  • Retrospective cohort analysis conducted in an urban Colorado setting, assessing participant demographics and program attendance.
  • Community-based National DPP programs may increase engagement, but further efforts are needed to involve Latino men.
