Research Project Area / Purpose: The goal of this program is to develop and demonstrate creative and innovative approaches that are effective in reducing the prevalence of overweight/obesity in women by increasing the number of women who adopt positive, healthy, lifestyles.  The interventions implemented must be substantive in nature, incorporate nutrition, physical activity and health/wellness components, while also positively impacting knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.  These approaches should target women in communities who have limited access to preventive health services, and when appropriate linked to other relevant services to comprehensively address their health needs.  Proposals must include women who are members of racial ethnic minority populations who are disproportionately affected by overweight/obesity.
