• Description:
  What is already known on this topic? Worksites are valuable ancillary health care systems for population health promotion efforts, particularly the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). Differences in key program characteristics have, however, limited the generalizability of findings from studies of worksite translations of the DPP. What is added by this report? We evaluated the effectiveness of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Faculty and Staff Health and Wellness DPP, a worksite translation of the DPP that earned full recognition status from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2017. What are the implications for public health practice? Increased session attendance and increased physical activity among participants may increase success rates for employer-based DPPs.
