Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to test a flexible lifestyle program designed to help Latino men make healthy lifestyle changes to lower their risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. The program is called HOMBRE (Hombres con Opciones para Mejorar el Bienestar y bajar el Riesgo de Enfermedades crónicas; English translation: Men with choices to improve well being and decrease chronic disease risk).

Detailed description

This study is a comparative effectiveness trial where obese Latino men will receive, by random assignment, the HOMBRE intervention or a minimal intensity intervention. The study is designed to test whether a flexible lifestyle program with choices for program engagement will lead to better health outcomes, compared to a minimal intensity self-directed lifestyle program. If proven successful, this study has the potential to significantly impact health outcomes that matter to Latino men through the innovative design of lifestyle interventions to prevent chronic disease.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALMinimal intensity intervention

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.

BEHAVIORALHOMBRE

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.

Change in Health Behavior: Energy ExpenditureBaseline, 18 monthsThe Stanford 7-day Physical Activity Recall data also provided estimates of total daily energy expenditures. Total energy expenditure = sleep hours × 1 MET + light activity hours × 1.5 METs + moderate activity hours × 4 METs + hard activity hours × 6 METs + very hard activity hours × 10 METs. Total daily energy expenditure at 18 months - Total daily energy expenditure at baseline.
Change in Health Behavior: Sedentary BehaviorBaseline, 18 monthsWeekly hours of sedentary behavior measured at 18 months minus weekly hours of sedentary behavior at baseline using the Sedentary behavior Questionnaire
Change in Health Behavior: Diet QualityBaseline, 18 monthsDietary intake was measured using the gold-standard approach of multiple pass 24-hour recalls in Spanish or English using Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR). Diet quality was assessed by the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) score. DASH scores were calculated based on combining nine nutrient targets (i.e. total fat, saturated fat, protein, cholesterol, fiber, magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium). A higher score reflects higher diet quality. The minimum score is 8 and the maximum is 40. DASH score at 18 months - DASH score at baseline.
Change in Health Behavior: Fruit and Vegetable IntakeBaseline, 18 monthsFruit and vegetable intake measured at 18 months minus fruit and vegetable intake measured at baseline using 24-hour multiple pass recalls. Fruit and vegetable intake is measured in servings per day.
Change in Health Behavior: Total Calorie IntakeBaseline, 18 monthsTotal calorie intake per day measured at 18 months minus total calorie intake per day measured at baseline using 24-hour multiple pass dietary recalls.
Trajectory of Weight Change From Baseline Through 18 Months18 monthsSlope of changes in weights abstracted from EHR from baseline through 18 months
Change in Psychosocial Well-being: Obesity-specific Quality of LifeBaseline, 18 monthsObesity-related Problem Scale, average scores of 8 questions with a range from 0 (no at all) to 3 (extremely). The average score is then multiplied by 100 and divided by 3 to convert to a scale of 0-100, with a higher score indicating more obesity-related problems. Obesity-related quality of life measured at 18 months - obesity-related quality of life measured at baseline.
Change in Psychosocial Well-being: Depressive SymptomsBaseline, 18 monthsThe Patient Health Questionnaire PHQ-9 is a self-report questionnaire with 9 items. Respondents answered questions regarding how often a symptom has bothered them over the last two weeks. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all, 1 = several days, 2 = more than half the days, 3 = nearly every day). PHQ-9 total score is the sum of the nine items, ranging from 0 to 27. Scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 represent cutpoints for mild, moderate, moderately severe and severe depression, respectively. PHQ-9 score at 18 months - PHQ-9 score at baseline.
Change in Perceived StressBaseline, 18 monthsPerceived stress scale with a range of 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher stress. Perceived stress at 18 months - Perceived stress at baseline.
Change in Psychosocial Well-being: Sleep Disturbance T-scoreBaseline, 18 monthsSleep disturbance T-score, a population scale with a range from 25 (extreme disturbance or impairment) to 80 (not at all) converted from the raw total score of 8-item questionnaire. A score of 50 represents the average of the calibration sample, which was generally more enriched for chronic illness. Sleep disturbance score at 18 months - sleep disturbance score at baseline.
Change in Psychosocial Well-being: Sleep Impairment T-scoreBaseline, 18 monthsSleep Impairment T-score, a population scale with a range from 25 (extreme disturbance or impairment) to 80 (not at all) converted from the raw total score of 8-item questionnaire.

Among them 147 in the HOMBRE intervention and 145 in the Minimal Intensity intervention had blood pressure data at 18 months.

Change in Waist Circumference From Baseline

Waist circumference at 18 months - waist circumference at baseline

Time frame: Baseline, 18 months

Population: At 18 months, 186 in HOMBRE and 180 in Minimal Intensity intervention had either study-measured weight, EHR-abstracted weight, or self-reported weight, therefore were counted in retention in the Participant Flow module. Among them 83 in the HOMBRE intervention and 88 in the Minimal Intensity intervention had waist circumference data at 18 months.

Changes in Weight From Baseline

Weight measurements were abstracted from EHR.

Time frame: 6 months

Population: At 18 months, 186 in HOMBRE and 180 in Minimal Intensity had either study-measured weight, EHR-abstracted weight, or self-reported weight, therefore were counted in retention in the Participant Flow module. We used same model as first secondary outcome to examine changes in EHR weight at 6 months. We abstracted weight from the EHR from 3 months prior to randomization to 24 months post randomization. 209 in HOMBRE and 209 in Minimal Intensity had EHR-abstracted weight during this 27-month period.

Psychosocial Well-being: Number and Percentage of Participants Who Had no Problems With Mobility Domain in Utility-based Quality of Life Measured by EuroQol EQ-5D

Utility-based quality of life was measured by EuroQol EQ-5D. Number and percentage of participants who had no problems with mobility.

Time frame: 18 months

Population: At 18 months, 186 in HOMBRE and 180 in Minimal Intensity intervention had either study-measured weight, EHR-abstracted weight, or self-reported weight, therefore were counted in retention in the Participant Flow module. Among them 107 in the HOMBRE intervention and 104 in the Minimal Intensity intervention had utility-based quality of life mobility data at 18 months.

Trajectory of Weight Change From Baseline Through 18 Months

Slope of changes in weights abstracted from EHR from baseline through 18 months

Time frame: 18 months

Population: At 18 months, 186 in HOMBRE and 180 in Minimal Intensity intervention had either study-measured weight, EHR-abstracted weight, or self-reported weight, therefore were counted in retention in the Participant Flow module. For examining weight loss trajectory over time, we abstracted weight measurements from the EHR from 3 months prior to randomization to 24 months post randomization. 209 in HOMBRE and 209 in Minimal Intensity intervention had EHR-abstracted weight during this 27-month period.
