Pacific Islander Physical Activity Project

The investigators will adapt the protocol of the 'Ohana project. The 'Ohana protocol was developed based on CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum and designed to fit PcI's cultural background. It includes a 8-lesson curriculum delivered in 8 weeks (shortened from the original 16-lesson, 24-week core curriculum of DPP while retaining all original foci and behavior change strategies). Specifically, the first four lessons, delivered every week, focus on getting the participants started on increasing PA and improving diet (e.g., introduction; getting started on PA and diet; utilizing goal setting; making the process fun). The second four classes will be taught every other week and will focus on how to handle various challenges involved in maintaining healthy lifestyle behaviors. The investigators will deliver the curriculum in group settings of 15 people in a separate room in the National Tongan American Society.
