Abstract
We sought to utilize a fully engaged community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to culturally adapt the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) Lifestyle Intervention for Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) communities and to examine the effectiveness of the culturally adapted program to promote weight loss in five NHOPI communities.
