Description: This proposed Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) study will translate research on delay discounting to the prevention of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in persons with prediabetes. A cross-sectional design will be used to test if delay discounting (DD) is a target related to behavioral and medical adherence in persons with prediabetes. Specifically, researchers will examine whether measures of DD, region of interest (ROI) neural activation during DD, and other executive functions are predictive of behavioral and medical adherence among prediabetics.

Mechanism Description - Mindd 1: Prediabetes, Delay Discounting and Executive Function (Epstein/Bickel)
Impulsivity will be measured using the following discounting tasks:
a) Adjusting Amount Discounting Task
b) Adjusting Delay Discounting Task
Experimental Methods - Mindd 1: Prediabetes, Delay Discounting and Executive Function (Epstein/Bickel)
This section describes the study related procedures participants will be asked to undergo.
Hypothesis - Mindd 1: Prediabetes, Delay Discounting and Executive Function (Epstein/Bickel)
Relative to the less adherent prediabetics, those with prediabetes who are more adherent to behavioral and medical prescriptions will discount less an...
Manipulation - Mindd 1: Prediabetes, Delay Discounting and Executive Function (Epstein/Bickel)
Initial research on Type 2 diabetes (T2D) using a brief monetary choice questionnaire showed T2D individuals who discount the future have worse metabo...
Expected Association with Behavior - Mindd 1: Prediabetes, Delay Discounting and Executive Function (Epstein/Bickel)
The prevention of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) for someone with prediabetes requires making behavior changes to prevent future disease progression. The ratio...
