Description

Introduction With the continued increase of overweight and obesity in the United States and especially in the Hispanic population (Ogden, Carrol, Curtin, McDowell, Tabak, & Flegal, 2006; Flegal, Ogden, & Carroll, 2004), it is important to provide useful healthy lifestyle education. One of the barriers to providing this information is the lack of culture sensitivity in the content and presentation of current programs. The Salsa, Sabor, y Salud program has broken the barrier and offers a culturally sensitive program to the Hispanic population on healthy lifestyle choices. However, at this time the only evaluation of the program that has been completed is a participant self assessment and satisfaction survey. Although knowledge is an important component to making healthy lifestyle changes, it does not always result in participant compliance. More objective data are necessary to measure the outcomes of an educational program. The purpose of this pilot study was to gather and analysis objective data.
