FAMily-centered WEight Loss for Black Adults (FAM WEL B-ing) (NCT06724406)
FAMily-centered WEight Loss for Black Adults (FAM WEL B-ing): Optimization and Evaluation Using Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) and Social Network Analysis (SNA)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the best combination of family components that yields optimal weight loss among Black adults. The main question it aims to answer is: What combination of four family components in combination with a standard behavioral weight loss program yields optimal weight loss among Black adults? Researchers will compare different combinations of family skills components (communication content, cohesion content, number of sessions, and mode of delivery) to see the best weight loss. Participants will: * Participate in a 6-month behavioral weight loss intervention * Attend core weight loss in-person group sessions, and dyad based family sessions * Keep track of weight, dietary intake and physical activity
