Lifestyle intervention
In the 6 lifestyle intervention study temples two lay health promoters per temple will be trained for two weeks with a standardized training programme,
training manuals,
and practical exercises. In each temple the lay health promoter(s) is expected to start and run 4-
5 support groups (6-
8 members per group) over the project period. The intervention model used is based on a Finnish diabetes prevention implementation study (Absetz,
Uutela et al.,
2004) and includes components of the PREMIER study (Funk et al.,
2008
Maruthur et al.,
2009). Briefly,
the programme consists of six two-
hour group sessions facilitated by trained lay health promoters (Uutela et al.,
2004). They will receive two weeks of training with a standardized training programme,
and practical exercises. The first four sessions will extend over 8 weeks,
with 2-
week intervals in between sessions. The last two sessions will take place at 6-
8 months (Uutela et al.,
2004). The sessions will be facilitated by specially trained lay health promoters,
