Timeline
Interventions
The minimal intensity intervention control includes the Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) videos (DVD or online), standardized messages, and access to a lifestyle coach if initiated by the participant.
HOMBRE is a Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB)-based intervention tailored for men and available in 3 delivery modalities (coach-facilitated individual approach, coach-led online virtual groups, and coach-led in-person groups). A lifestyle coach will support men in making an informed choice of modality and will provide ongoing individualized feedback. All delivery modalities provide the same evidence-based curriculum and include self-monitoring and individualized feedback from the lifestyle coach.
