CBTeX: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Exercise Training in Adolescents At-Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
This study is looking for ways to prevent type 2 diabetes in adolescent girls who may be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. We want to see if teaching girls coping skills and/or increasing their physical activity and fitness helps them feel less stressed and decreases their chance of getting diabetes.
Why this Research Matters
Eligible teens will participate in a 12-week group therapy program, group exercise program, or a combination of the two. Participants will complete 5 research visits at Children's Hospital Colorado over the course of a year. Teens may earn up to $505 if they complete all parts of the study.
Who can Participate
Eligible participants are female adolescents ages 12 to 17 years old with at least one family member (parent, sibling, half-sibling, grandparent, aunt/uncle) with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes/diabetes during pregnancy, or pre-diabetes), and who sometimes feel stressed or depressed.
