Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Retention RateUp to 3 months post intervention

Retention rate will be reported as the number of participants completing the post-intervention assessment.

Acceptability of InterventionUp to week 16

As measured by the total number of sessions attended by the participants as a whole.

Number of Eligible Participants Refusing to Participate.Baseline

Number of eligible participants refusing to participate.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Cardiometabolic Risk as Measured by Waist CircumferenceBaseline, 7 months post intervention

As measured by the number of inches around the participant's waist. A waist circumference of 102 centimetres (40 inches) or more in men is associated with health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.

Change in Health-related Quality of Life as Measured by the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12)Baseline, Month 4, Month 7

The SF-12v2 is a measure of health related quality of life and provides 2 scores 1) Mental Component Summary Score (MCS) and 2) Physical Component Summary Score (PCS). MCS scores range from 0 to 100, higher scores indicate better mental health related quality of life.

Change in Psychosocial Functioning as Measured by Depression Severity ScaleBaseline, Month 4, Month 7

As measured by a 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. The possible range of scores are 0 to 60 with the higher scores indicating the presence of more symptomatology.

Change in Lipid Profile as Measured by Total Cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, TriglyceridesBaseline, Month 4, Month 7

A total cholesterol value of less than 200 mg/dL (5.18 mmol/L) is desirable and 240 mg/dL (6.22 mmol/L) or higher is high. Average HDL-C level is 40-50 mg/dL (1.0-1.3 mmol/L) for men. Low HDL-C level, increased risk, is less than 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L). Optimal LDL-C levels are less than 100 mg/d while high levels are 160-189 mg/dL (4.15-4.90 mmol/L). Desirable triglyceride levels are less than 150 mg/dL (1.70 mmol/L) while high levels are considered 200-499 mg/dL (2.3-5.6 mmol/L).

Change in Psychosocial Functioning as Measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)Baseline, Month 4, Month 7

severity of depression will be measured by the 9-item PHQ-9. Scores range from 0 to 27. With scores of 1-4 indicating minimal depression and scores of 20-27 indicating severe depression.

Change in Psychosocial Functioning as Measured by the Severity of Anxiety Using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder ScaleBaseline, Month 4, Month 7

The 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale will be used to measure the severity of anxiety. The scores range from 0 to 21 with scores of 0 to 5 indicating mild anxiety and scores of 15-21 indicating severe anxiety.

Change in Psychosocial Functioning as Measured by the Social Support ReceivedBaseline, Month 4, Month 7

The 12 item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social support. After calculating the mean score across the categories a mean scale support score from 1 to 2.9 would indicate low support, whereas a mean score of 5.1 to 7 would indicate high support.

Change in Glucose as Measured by Glycated Hemoglobin (Hba1c)Baseline, Month 4, Month 7

The normal range for the hemoglobin A1c level is between 4% and 5.6%. Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% mean a higher chance of getting diabetes. Levels of 6.5% or higher mean diabetes.

Change in Psychosocial Functioning as Measured by the Severity of Anxiety Using the Perceived Stress ScaleBaseline, Month 4, Month 7

The 14 item Healthy Families Program Perceived Stress Scale will be used to measure the severity of anxiety. PSS scores can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicated higher perception of stress.

Change in Hypertension as Measured by Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure.Baseline, Month 4, Month 7

Normal systolic and diastolic pressure is less than 120 mmHg and 80mmHg, respectively. High systolic and diastolic pressure is 140 mmHg or higher and 90 mmHg or higher, respectively.
