PLEASED Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Peer SupportExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Peer support intervention group: During the first 3 months of DSME, participants in the DSMS intervention group will be invited to attend 6 lifestyle change sessions delivered a 2-person peer leader team and conducted bi-weekly. Immediately following the 3 months of DSME, participants are invited to attend 9 months of weekly DSMS sessions (60-minutes per session) delivered by a Peer Leader. These sessions are designed to sustain the self-management gains achieved in the 3 months of DSME.
Group II: Wait-list ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Immediately following the 6 bi-weekly DSME sessions, participants randomized to the Wait-list control group will have completed their participation in the study.
