Healthy Body Healthy Souls: A Weight Loss Intervention Using Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Intervention (DPP-LI) With Church Level Systems Change in the Marshallese Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating HBHS, HBHS Policy, and 1 other intervention for Weight Loss and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary aim is to pilot test a weight-loss intervention for Marshallese adults, referred to throughout as Healthy Bodies Healthy Souls (HBHS). The HBHS intervention includes the Wholeness, Oneness, Righteousness, Deliverance Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Intervention (WORD DPP) implemented at the individual level, with the additional enhancement of working with Marshallese churches to implement church-level changes to support the individual behavioral intervention of the WORD DPP. We will then compare changes in outcomes with participants in the churches who were exposed to the policy changes but did not participate in the WORD DPP, and with those enrolled in a separate DPP trial who participated in the WORD DPP but were not exposed to church-level policy changes.
