HOMBRE (Hombres con Opciones para Mejorar el Bienestar y bajar el Riesgo de Enfermedades crónicas)

Description

This study (in English: Men with Choices to Improve Well-being and Decrease Chronic Disease Risk)  is a pragmatic, comparative effectiveness trial where obese Latino men will receive, by random assignment, the HOMBRE intervention or a minimal intensity intervention. Eligible Latino men (n=424) with a BMI >30 kg/m2 (≥27.5 kg/m2 if Asian descent) and ≥1 metabolic syndrome component will be enrolled, randomized to HOMBRE (intervention; n=212) or the minimal intensity intervention (control; n=212), and followed until 18 months, with passive monitoring of BMI through the EHR through 24 months. 

A trained lifestyle coach will meet with HOMBRE (intervention) participants to facilitate an informed choice of delivery modalities: (1) Individual approach via videos, (2) Online virtual groups, or (3) In-person groups.  All delivery modalities provide the same evidence-based curriculum and include self-monitoring and individualized feedback from the lifestyle coach.

Specific aims:
Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of HOMBRE with a minimal intensity intervention for sustaining clinically significant weight loss at 18 months.

Aim 2: Compare the effectiveness of HOMBRE with a minimal intensity intervention for improving cardiometabolic risk factors, health behaviors, and psychosocial well-being at 18 months.

Aim 3: Compare the other attributes of RE-AIM (reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) within the two interventions to inform rapid dissemination and long-term sustainability.
