SCULPT-Job Trial Summary

This trial is looking at how well weight loss, weight maintenance, and cardiovascular disease work in people who are disadvantaged.

Who is the study for?
The SCULPT-Job Study is for adults over 18 with a BMI above 25 (or above 22 for Asian ethnicity), from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, earning around $31,000 per household of four and enrolled in Medicaid. It's not open to pregnant women, those who've had diabetes or major heart events recently, cognitive or psychiatric conditions, recent orthopedic issues, or active housing instability.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study tests the effectiveness of the Diabetes Prevention Program combined with job and legal services against the program alone on weight loss and cardiovascular health in people facing socioeconomic challenges.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle interventions rather than medications, side effects may include typical responses to diet changes or increased physical activity such as muscle soreness or fatigue but are generally minimal compared to drug treatments.

What are the major aims of this research endeavor?

"The primary outcome we will be gauging throughout the course of this trial, extending for 12 and 18 months respectively, is BMI Maintenance. Secondary indicators include Binge eating which will be evaluated by assessing frequency through Framingham Heart Study protocols as well as intensity with a 16-item scale (BES). We'll also assess Impulsivity via self-reported responses to the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, in addition to Cellular Aging Biomarkers using qPCR assays on fingerprick blood samples taken at baseline and after one year; telomere length measurement has an inter-assay coefficient of variability of 3.7"
