Perceived risk and the willingness to enroll in a diabetes prevention lifestyle intervention in Arab-Americans.
The purpose was to examine whether self-reported perceived risk predicts willingness to enroll in DPP-adapted lifestyle intervention in Arab-Americans. Results document a positive relationship between perceived risk and willingness to engage in diabetes prevention activities. These findings imply that educational interventions communicating risk may improve adoption of diabetes preventative efforts.
