Description: Obesity disproportionally impacts racial and ethnic minority communities, as well as the underserved. To assist in reducing this inequity, prevention and treatment interventions should be initially designed such that they are accessible, acceptable, relevant, and sustainable to those communities and populations that experience the greatest burden of obesity. This keynote will describe issues to consider in designing interventions, including dissemination and implementation factors, how medical and social services can be incorporated into interventions, the role of psychosocial stress and resiliency in health, and enhancement of patient empowerment.
This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM)..
