The Lifestyle Coach Assistance Program is to support existing National Diabetes Prevention Program and Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support Lifestyle Change Coaches, as well as train additional Lifestyle Change Coaches that currently work for organizations with the capacity to establish and/or expand this work. Funding may be used to increase enrollment and retention of priority populations in the National DPP lifestyle intervention, the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program, and the Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support program, including support programs not accredited by ADA/ADCES, by improving awareness and appeal of the program, access to and appropriateness of classes, ease of enrollment, and relevant participant support.
