Summary

African Americans have higher rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. In addition, middle-aged non-Hispanic Black adults develop multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) at an earlier age, which share most of the same risk factors, including poor diet and physical inactivity. The major goal of the proposed project is to develop a culturally tailored intervention focused on improving awareness, knowledge, diet quality, and physical activity in a cohort of AA adults with MCCs.

Nutrition Matters

The intervention will consist of two components: educational sessions and a structured PA component. The primary purpose of the educational sessions is to increase experimental group participants' scientific knowledge and skills in healthy cooking and eating. NUTRITION-MATTERS includes weekly 1.5-hour education sessions for a total of 12 weeks. The sessions will be sequenced carefully to blend brief lectures by experts, experience sharing by participants, and an interactive cooking demonstration. All participants will be provided with $20 of food that corresponds to the cooking demonstration and recipes in the participant handbook.The curriculum will include evidence based information on managing chronic diseases with nutrition and will be culturally tailored to include foods, music, and/or same race/ethnicity role models.
