Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The goal of this study is to translate basic behavioral and social science discoveries into effective behavioral interventions that reduce obesity and obesity related morbidity in Black and Latino communities. This intervention will focus on promoting small changes in eating behavior and increasing physical activity among Black and Latino participants in Harlem and the South Bronx. The desired result from these activities is individual weight loss that will be sustained years after participation in the study.
