AMIGO Clinical Study: Attrition Rates Among Military Beneficiaries Undergoing Intensive Group Outpatient Pre-Diabetes Care

摘要

This document is the Final Report of the AMIGO Clinical Study: Attrition rates among Military beneficiaries undergoing Intensive Group Outpatient pre-diabetes care funded by AFMSA SG5I. This Final Report discusses the challenges that led to the early closure of the study along with lessons learned and future recommendations. The purpose of this study was to decrease the incidence of progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes by evaluating the impact a lifestyle coach has on a pre-diabetic patients adherence to a lifestyle education program and resultant improvement of lab values associated with their pre-diabetes diagnosis. The hypothesis was that a patient s adherence/completion of a diabetes prevention program and improvement of their pertinent laboratory values would be directly affected by the involvement of a personalized lifestyle coach. The AMIGO study was unable to evaluate the impact a lifestyle coach has on a pre-diabetic patients adherence to a lifestyle education program and did not reveal any statistical or clinically significant outcomes regarding lab value results of the intervention. It did result in lessons learned and provided a fundamental understanding of exactly what and moreover who is needed for program and study success which may prove to be beneficial for future researchers.
