What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of a telehealth-delivered Group Lifestyle Balance program specifically designed for people who have had a stroke. This randomized controlled trial compares the telehealth program (tGLB-CVA) to a six-month wait-list control. The study aims to reach a diverse patient population and involves peer mentors to support participants in achieving health improvements after stroke. The intervention is a 12-month program with 22 telehealth sessions. It begins with a Core Program of 12 weekly sessions, followed by a Transition phase of 2 bi-weekly and 2 monthly sessions, and ends with a Support Phase of 6 monthly sessions. Participants in the wait-list control group start the telehealth program six months after enrolling and completing baseline assessments. The goal is to help participants achieve and maintain a 5-7% weight loss through healthy eating and physical activity. Participants will be involved in various assessments at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months, including body weight, circumference, height, BMI, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, fasting blood samples, and diabetes risk scores. The study also collects data on behavioral risk factors, substance use, quality of life, social support, telehealth satisfaction, and neighborhood walkability. Safety and outcomes will be monitored throughout the study, which lasts up to 18 months for each participant.
