Interventions
Social Network interventions are an intentional effort to modify or use the characteristics of social networks to improve, generate, and maintain healthy behaviors among individuals and populations. This study will focus on implementing a behavioral social-network intervention to promote changes in weight loss behaviors.
The individual lifestyle intervention will serve as the control group and will implement the use of DPP based health coaching sessions to promote individual level changes in weight loss behaviors.
The social network member will serve as the friend, family member, or co-worker nominated to participate in the social network intervention by the social network intervention participant.
