Program ACTIVE: Phase 2

The present study seeks to tailor the original Program ACTIVE (Adults Coming Together to Increase Vital Exercise) to meet the cultural norms and needs of adult Black men with comorbid Type 2 diabetes and depression by using focus groups comprised of Black men with Type 2 diabetes. The use of peer perspectives allows for an improved strategy to reach, retain, and improve outcomes in this population. Following the tailoring of program materials, the intervention (Program ACTIVE) will be facilitated with Black men with comorbid Type 2 diabetes and depression using evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy and community-based exercise interventions.
