Summary

The purpose of this study is to use a community based participatory action research (CBPAR) approach to 1) create "radio stories" about Somali, Latino and Hmong families' real success stories with hypertension and obesity in managing their disease through implementation of healthful lifestyle behaviors (nutrition and physical activity), and 2) test the effectiveness and acceptability of radio stories on participant intentions to engage in or improve healthful lifestyle behaviors to prevent these disease. Participants in the Intervention condition listened to the "radio stories" and the participants in the control condition listened to an audio brochure with relevant health information. We hypothesized that the intervention participants would report higher intentions to engage in various healthful lifestyle behaviors than the control participants after both participants listened to their respective health information.
