Summary

This trial will use social networks to try and change health behaviors in people that are at risk for obesity and heart problems.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Hispanic or Somali immigrants in Southeast Minnesota who are willing to fully participate and consent. It's aimed at those with obesity or cardiovascular risk factors, but excludes pregnant individuals, those with serious conditions limiting physical activity, and normal-weight people from measurements.
What is being tested?
The study tests a program using community-based mentoring and education within social networks to promote weight loss and reduce cardiovascular risks among immigrant communities.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves lifestyle changes through mentoring and education sessions rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or time constraints due to participation.
