Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to address a key health inequity - lack of community access to evidence-based programs to prevent chronic health conditions (e.g., Type 2 Diabetes) - by tailoring and delivering a family-based lifestyle and stress management intervention, Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras, for adolescents and their families living in rural Southwest Colorado. The intervention is a lifestyle program that addresses healthy lifestyle habits within the family context to support adolescent mental health (mindfulness intervention) and healthy weight (physical activity, nutrition, and parent education).

Description:

Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras is a 12-session community-delivered, family-based lifestyle intervention for health promotion and reduction of risk for chronic diseases like T2D. The program is delivered over 6 weeks and includes family education/parent training, adolescent physical activity, mindfulness-based stress reduction training for adolescents, family meals, and family cooking/meal preparation. The goal is to deliver the program to up to 175 participants and their families over the course of 5 years (2022-2027). The program content and delivery/implementation processes already have been adapted based on information obtained through adolescent and parent interviews and community member voices though a 9-month community research collaboration. The investigators will gather new, additional information from program participants and stakeholders to continue to tailor the curriculum content and program processes. The investigators will do this iteratively using feedback collected during and in the wake of each cohort until thematic saturation is achieved (anticipated to be ~3 cohorts) and until the community-research partnership group has obtained program optimization for families in Southwest Colorado. Further, the investigators will conduct program evaluations of the adapted Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras program on changes in a range of indicators of mental/physical health and health behaviors in adolescents.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Treatment Acceptability: Questionnaire	Participants rate and comment on each component of the program (i.e. Cooking Matters, parent sessions, physical fitness sessions, Learning 2 BREATHE, dinners) separately. Questions include topics about how supported individuals felt during the program, the helpfulness of the facilitators, the perceived benefits of program participation, and their overall experience participating in the program. This questionnaire will only be completed one time at the post-program follow-up.	6 weeks
Primary	Intervention Acceptability: Qualitative Themes	Themes indicative of acceptability of intervention obtained from qualitative analysis of participant and parent focus-groups at post-intervention.	6 weeks
Secondary	Emotion regulation	Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (18 items), measures non-acceptance of emotional responses, difficulty engaging in goal-directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, limited access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity.	1 year
Secondary	Eating behavior	Reward-Based Eating Drive Scale (REDS), a reliable/valid survey instrument of hedonic eating	1 year
