Brief summary
Native Americans suffer disproportionately from chronic diseases that may be prevented by achieving a healthy diet, physical activity and weight. For this pilot study, the aim is to examine the effectiveness and feasibility of a standard lifestyle management program implemented in community based settings among Native Americans.
Detailed description
A pilot study will be implemented to establish comparison data for the delivery of a standard lifestyle management program among Southeastern Native Americans. The program addresses the physical and intellectual domains. The ultimate goal will be to use focus group data and this pilot pre-post clinical trial to inform further cultural and social adaptations that could advance the effectiveness of lifestyle management programs in Southeastern Native Americans.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMove & Eat 2 Live
American Indians suffer disproportionately from several chronic diseases that may be prevented with healthier modifiable factors. Nutrition, physical activity and a healthy weight are key factors that may prevent and reduce risk of disease incidence. The major goals of this project are to develop a culturally adapted intervention that addresses barriers and uses positive cultural values as guiding principles for behavior changes to enhance program retention and improve behaviors. This project will pilot a 12-week standard lifestyle intervention in American Indians.
