Experimental Treatment
Group I: Enhanced Intervention Group (EIG)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Enhanced Intervention Group was a subgroup of the participants that were invited for voluntary weekly meet-n-greet sessions in the Primary Care Clinic. These sessions were information and not educational sessions for the intervention. The entire EIG concept was to test a social component of participants by providing an informal opportunity for a DPPFit social group. The group sessions were terminated after only 5 weeks as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. They were the only component of the DPPFit study that were face-to-face.
