Brief Summary
The long-term objective of this study protocol is to develop and test a culturally sensitive, community-based intervention, ESENCIAL Para Vivir (Essential for Life) to promote weight loss and diabetes prevention among overweight or obese Latina immigrants. We chose to focus on Latinas because Latinas are at especially high risk for developing diabetes and currently there are not Spanish programs available in our area that provide education about weight management and diabetes prevention.
