CBTeX: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exercise Training in Adolescents At-Risk for Type 2 Diabetes

Overview

Our team is here to find out if taking part in a cognitive-behavioral therapy group, exercise training group, or combination of therapy and exercise training decreases stress, improves mood, increases physical activity and fitness, and decreases diabetes risk among teenagers at risk for diabetes.

If eligible, your teen may:

• Feel a sense of belonging by participating in a 12-week group program with other teens
• Feel happier and less stressed
• Increase their physical fitness
• Reduce their chance of developing Type 2 diabetes
