Presenter promotes the Personal Success Tool as a retention aid for participants
Summary
The presenter described the Personal Success Tool (PST) as a web-based, mobile-friendly set of modules coaches can send to participants to reinforce curriculum topics and support retention during the National DPP 12-month lifestyle change program.
The presenter introduced the Personal Success Tool (PST) and described it as an easy-to-use, interactive web-based resource coaches can use to increase participant retention by sending modules that reinforce session topics and provide encouragement between meetings.
"The National DPP Personal Success Tool or PST is designed to be there for participants when you can't be," the presenter said, noting the PST includes modules, quizzes, games and pledges that can be accessed on smartphones, tablets and computers.
She explained the PST aligns with the Prevent T2 curriculum order and that a quick reference guide shows the suggested order for Prevent T2, while coaches may adapt the PST to any CDC-recognized lifestyle change curriculum. The presenter recommended coaches tailor module timing to match class topics and proactively help participants who use the PST.
The presenter emphasized that participant testing informed module design and that staff resources—coach guides, scheduling tools, and participant handouts—are available through the CSC to support PST implementation.
