This project follows the development of a graphic novel, in both a physical and online format, and the perceptions of Latinos with Prediabetes of that novel. This storybook’s goal is to increase the likelihood of Latino people joining the National Diabetes Prevention Program, a program that focuses on helping people develop healthier lifestyle habits to prevent the development of Type 2 Diabetes.
