Is Demographic Concordance Between Lifestyle Coach and Participant Associated With Participant Retention and Weight Change in the National Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Change Intervention?
Article in Journal of diabetes research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe goal of this study is to explore the association between racial/ethnic, sex, and age category concordance and participant retention and weight loss among participants enrolled in the National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change program (National DPP LCP).
methodsThis analysis was conducted using a sample of 653 participants who were enrolled in a 12-month National DPP LCP at one of 17 Chicago community-based organizations between June 2019 and July 2023. Using multilevel logistic regression modeling, we examined the association between participant lifestyle-coach racial/ethnic, sex, and age category concordance and retention, as well as weight loss. All models controlled for coach education, coach training, program-engagement level, as well as participant education, sex, age, and race/ethnicity if not already accounted for in the concordance variable.
resultsIn adjusted models, we observed a statistically significant relationship between race/ethnic concordance and increased odds of retention. There was no significant relationship between demographic concordance and weight change > = 3%.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that there is increased odds of retention among racially concordant pairs. We did not observe a significant relationship between gender and age concordant pairs and retention nor race, gender, and age concordant pairs and weight loss. Our findings suggest that National DPP LCP programs could consider racial concordance in their program design and implementation as a factor to boost participant retention.
