| Abstract | Background The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a nationally disseminated lifestyle intervention shown to prevent type 2 diabetes (diabetes). However, enrollment in the program remains variable. We sought to identify patient characteristics associated with enrollment in a virtual DPP program among women Veterans to inform ongoing diabetes prevention efforts. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 2021–2024 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) data collected through the VA Enhancing Mental and Physical Health of Women through Engagement and Retention (EMPOWER) 2.0 Program, an effectiveness-implementation trial to expand access to preventative health services for women Veterans. We included women meeting DPP eligibility criteria (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 [or ≥ 23 if Asian] with ≥ 1 risk factor for diabetes [e.g., prediabetes]) who received care at six VA sites implementing virtual DPP. We used logistic regression to examine the association between DPP enrollment and prior use of VA preventive services for weight management or diabetes prevention including the VA MOVE! clinic, Whole Health visits, nutrition visits, weight loss medications, and/or metformin. We adjusted for sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, number of DPP recruitment contacts, and site. Results A total of 1473 women Veterans received DPP outreach. On average, their age was 53 years (range 20–96), BMI 34 kg/m2, HbA1c 5.9%, 0.7% were Asian, 44% Black, 2% Hispanic, and 44% White. In our adjusted models, prior use of VA preventative services was not significantly associated with DPP enrollment. Younger women (OR:0.97, p = 0.002) and those who received more recruitment contacts (OR:2.63, p < 0.001), were significantly more likely to enroll in DPP. Women with housing instability were significantly less likely to enroll (OR:0.44, p = 0.029). Conclusions We found no difference in women Veterans’ enrollment in DPP based on prior use of VA weight management and prevention services. Frequency of outreach by VA sites may increase engagement in lifestyle interventions. Virtual DPP may support engagement in preventive lifestyle interventions for diverse groups of women Veterans, as a first program or as a complement to other VA services.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
