Summary
The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is to test the effectiveness of a mobile, web-based diabetes prevention program for Hispanics living in rural communities. The main question it aims to answer is: Does STEPS, a mobile, web-based diabetes prevention program, reduce the risk of Type II Diabetes in rural Hispanics compared to usual care? Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the mobile STEPS intervention or usual care for a total of three months. Researchers will compare percentage weight loss, and additional outcome measures in participants of both groups at months three and six post-baseline.
