FAMily-centered WEight Loss for Black Adults (FAM WEL B-ing): Optimization and Evaluation Using Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) and Social Network Analysis (SNA)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the best combination of family components that yields optimal weight loss among Black adults. The main question it aims to answer is: What combination of four family components in combination with a standard behavioral weight loss program yields optimal weight loss among Black adults? Researchers will compare different combinations of family skills components (communication content, cohesion content, number of sessions, and mode of delivery) to see the best weight loss. Participants will: * Participate in a 6-month behavioral weight loss intervention * Attend core weight loss in-person group sessions, and dyad based family sessions * Keep track of weight, dietary intake and physical activity
• self-identified as Black or African American (Index participant)
• BMI equal to greater than 30 kg/m\^2 (Index); BMI equal to greater than 27.5 kg/m\^2 (family partner)
• have a partner/family member willing to enroll in the study and must share a mutual goal of achieving weight loss
• English speaking
• ages 18-75
• any gender
• have access to and be able to use a smartphone, tablet, or computer that has web-access (this is required for data collection and some program components being tested)
