Completed

• Conditions: Obesity
• Interventions: Behavioral: Small changes weight loss program

• Registration Number: NCT03614338
• Lead Sponsor: Rush University Medical Center

Brief Summary

African-American communities experience a greater burden of obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease and higher rates of obesity, compared to other race groups. There is a need for interventions that show promise in mitigating these disparities. The primary goal of this project is to pilot test whether an existing "small-changes" intervention for weight loss can be modified and delivered within the West Side ALIVE churches.
