In response to rising diabetes and cardiovascular disease rates in urban Mali, the Diabetes Prevention Program Power to Prevent (DPP-P2P) was adapted for low-income communities in Bamako. Stakeholder feedback and input from community health workers (CHWs) guided the adaptation process, resulting in culturally appropriate materials emphasizing family support and practical lifestyle changes. A pilot program with participants at risk for or diagnosed with diabetes showed promising increases in exercise frequency and dietary improvements. The iterative adaptation process demonstrated potential for effectively addressing diabetes prevention and management in low-income urban settings in Mali.
