- Original description
In this study, the investigators are conducting a Type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate the implementation of the Community Health Workers (CHW)-delivered PILI Pasifika Program (PPP) across 3 regions, the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, among 400 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) participants in two settings, (clinical and non-clinical) over a 3-year period. The PPP is a 3-month lifestyle intervention that includes a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and was NHPI-adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Program, renamed to the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP), which demonstrated effectiveness in improving weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and diet among NHPIs. The PPP consists of 8 lifestyle lessons and 4 SDOH activities delivered over a 3-month period.Read full original descriptionShow less
Peau o le Vasa: Accelerating the Currents of Health Advances for Pasifika People
In this study, the investigators are conducting a Type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate the implementation of the Community Health Workers (CHW)-delivered PILI Pasifika Program (PPP) across 3 regions, the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, among 400 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) participants in two settings, (clinical and non-clinical) over a 3-year period. The PPP is a 3-month lifestyle intervention that includes a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and was NHPI-adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Program, renamed to the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP), which demonstrated effectiveness in improving weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and diet among NHPIs. The PPP consists of 8 lifestyle lessons and 4 SDOH activities delivered over a 3-month period.
The aims of this study are threefold:
1. To evaluate the implementation of the PPP across multiple community sites using a Type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design guided by established frameworks such as RE-AIM and PRISM. 2. To examine participant-level outcomes associated with PPP implementation, including changes in cardiometabolic risk factors, health behaviors, and SDOH factors from baseline to 3 and 9-month follow-up. 3. To evaluate the cost and cost-effectiveness of implementing the PPP across community settings.
