RESULTS
A total of 450 people inquired about the study. Forty-four did not respond to repeated contact and 406 were assessed for eligibility. Of those, 245 did not meet inclusion criteria and 93 declined to participate. Thirty-two participants were randomized to MB-EAT-D; 27 received the allocated intervention and completed data collection. Thirty six people were randomized to SC; 25 received the allocated intervention and completed data collection. There was no significant difference in rates of attrition between treatment groups (P>0.05). There were no differences in demographic characteristics, BMI, or A1c between those who did and did not complete the study. On average, participants attended 7.0 and 6.5 of the 10 group sessions for MB-EAT-D and SC, respectively.
