Summary

The purpose of this trial is to examine weight loss for Hispanic/Latino people with stroke (CVA) who take part in a healthy lifestyle program that has been culturally modified for Hispanic/Latino people

Detailed description

Weight gain greatly increases the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, pulmonary and heart disease. The Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) intervention is a 12-month, evidence-based weight-loss program that has been used extensively with the general population and with people after CVA, however, it is not adapted to be linguistically and culturally appropriate for Latino persons post stroke. We will modified the program to meet the needs of Latino people with a CVA (GLB-CVA Latino). Aims: 1. : To create a modification of the CDC-recognized, evidence-based GLB-CVA to be culturally appropriate to meet the unique needs of people who identify as Hispanic/Latino, available in English and Spanish languages, using a Community-Based Participatory Research approach and AB of key stakeholders (patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers). 2. : Conduct a single-arm trial to describe the effect of participation in the GLB-CVA Latino on primary and secondary outcomes for 24 individuals who identify as Hispanic/Latino (12 English speakers and 12 Spanish speakers) at 3, 6, and 12 months from baseline. 3. : Evaluate the participant compliance (feasibility) and fidelity (adherence to the DPP GLB content) with the GLB-CVA Latino intervention.

BEHAVIORAL	Group Lifestyle Balance	The Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) program is a self-management intervention that has been shown to result in weight-loss and reduce the risk for Type 2 diabetes through increased physical activity and healthy eating behaviors in the general population. The GLB is a direct adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program, both developed at the Diabetes Prevention and Support Center at the University of Pittsburgh. The GLB is designed for delivery in a group-based, community setting,4 and has resulted in weight-loss in a variety of settings, such as community centers, churches, worksites, and healthcare systems.
