Weight Loss and Prevention in Latina Immigrants: Advancing Methods of Community-Based Intervention Delivery

Weight Loss Clinical Trial

Official title:
Weight Loss and Prevention in Latina Immigrants: Advancing Methods of Community-Based Intervention Delivery

Clinical Trial Summary

The long-term objective of this study protocol is to develop and test a culturally sensitive, community-based intervention, ESENCIAL Para Vivir (Essential for Life) to promote weight loss and diabetes prevention among overweight or obese Latina immigrants. We chose to focus on Latinas because Latinas are at especially high risk for developing diabetes and currently there are not Spanish programs available in our area that provide education about weight management and diabetes prevention.

Clinical Trial Description

The 8-week weight loss program, ESENCIAL Para Vivir (Essential for Life), is comprised of 6 groups sessions and 2 individual sessions delivered by a bilingiual, bi-cultural Community Health Advisor. All sessions are interactive with activities that build on educative content and most contain an interactive DVD component. We propose an innovative approach that will employ the DVD in tandem with our education sessions delivered by a Community Health Advisor to maximize buy-in from participants as well as provide access to community health leaders (medical professionals - endocrinologists, internists, nutritionists). Participants will be over 19 years of age, self-identifying as Hispanic women without diabetes, not pregnant or have given birth within the previous six months. The participants will be recruited from Jefferson County through community agencies and organization. Participants will be recruited and screened with an initial contact sheet to ensure that they meet our criteria, then they will be consented and complete baseline measurements. At the completion of the program, participants will repeat measures done at baseline, and 6 months post program completion. ;
