Healthy Lifestyle Program for Hispanic/Latino Stroke Survivors

This study is testing a healthy lifestyle program called Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB), which has been changed to better fit the culture and language of Hispanic/Latino people who have had a stroke. The program aims to help you lose weight through healthy eating and physical activity. Researchers want to see how well this modified program, called GLB-CVA Latino, helps with weight loss over 12 months. You might be able to join if you are 18-85 years old, identify as Hispanic or Latino, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or higher, and had a stroke at least 12 months ago. The study will enroll 24 participants.

What this trial measures

  • Change in weight[Time Frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months]

    Weight will be measured during in-person assessments at BSWIR using a Seca 664 scale. Height will be measured using a stadiometer. Weight and height will be used to calculate BMI. A BodyTrace Smart Scale will be provided to participants to facilitate self-weighing in the home, which include cellular connectivity at no cost to participants so weight will be sent directly to the research team.
