Peer Reviewed: Feasibility of an Evidence-Based Weight Loss Intervention for a Faith-Based, Rural, African American Population

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Background African Americans and rural residents are disproportionately affected by obesity. Innovative approaches to address obesity that are sensitive to the issues of rural African Americans are needed. Faith-based and community-based participatory approaches show promise for engaging racial/ethnic minorities to change health outcomes, but few faith-based weight loss interventions have used a community-based participatory approach.
