Detailed Description
Aim 1: Work with community stakeholders including individuals with T2D, family members, and senior center staff to adapt evidence-based lifestyle interventions, and develop implementation strategies. Aim 2: Conduct a senior-center-based 6-month pre- and post-pilot study and collect recruitment, enrollment, retention rate, fidelity, program satisfaction and experience, and stakeholder acceptance using quantitative and qualitative data. Aim 3: Assess the preliminary health-related responses to the intervention in older adults with T2D in the 6-month trial.
