August 11, 2016 updated by: Ruth Weinstock, State University of New York - Upstate Medical University
This worksite program for Onondaga County employees is a pilot research study aimed at decreasing the risk of developing diabetes (or improving metabolic control for adults with diabetes). The main goal is to improve the nutrition and physical habits of the participants, and promote weight loss in those who are overweight. The investigators will also examine factors that predict participation in the program and influence a participant's outcome/success in the program.
