PILI 'Ohana Project: Partnerships to Overcome Obesity Disparities in Hawaii (3-Year Pilot)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Overweight, Obesity
In brief
The PILI 'Ohana CBPR partnership implemented a pilot study to determine whether a Family plus Community focused intervention will improve weight loss maintenance compared to Standard follow-up in overweight/obese Native Hawaiian (NH) and other Pacific People (PP) adults (\> 18 yr. old) after receiving a standard individual-focused behavioral intervention. The primary hypothesis was that overweight/obese NH and PP adults that undergo a combined family-focused plus community-focused intervention vs. a standard follow-up after receiving a standard individual-focused behavioral intervention will have significantly higher rates of weight loss maintenance.
