Please join us in congratulating Lovoria Williams Ph.D., FNP-BC, FAANP for her success in receiving a five-year $2,966,335 National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases award entitled “Enhancing the Diabetes Prevention Program to promote weight loss among non-responders in a community-based lifestyle intervention”.
Dr. Williams, through prior research, has developed a comprehensive weight management program, Fit Body & Soul, and now she will expand her work to assess potential non-responders. Integrating a group-based intervention for community-dwelling Blacks, she will identify potential weight loss non-responders, defined as <1% weight loss, at four weeks post-baseline. The study will conduct a cluster-randomized trial with 500 participants who are nested within 20 community sites.
