| OG000 | Deaf Weight Wise Intervention Partner Site Implementation | The DWW study team worked with community partner organizations to train them to implement DWW at their own sites. The goal was to disseminate DWW broadly to Deaf communities. Working with partner organizations, the study team adapted DWW and supported implementation at various sites in central and western NY. The study team conducted an implementation-effectiveness Type 3 research design to plan, execute, and evaluate in collaboration with partners. Through the process, the study team evaluated whether DWW was implemented and whether it was delivered as intended. |

| Primary | Delivery of the Deaf Weight Wise Intervention As Intended | This outcome measures the number of partner sites that delivered the Deaf Weight Wise (DWW) intervention as intended, based on predefined fidelity criteria (e.g., delivery by site-based coaches, completion of all planned sessions, adherence to the DWW curriculum). Fidelity was assessed through direct observation of sessions and bi-weekly counselor meetings. All intervention sessions were delivered remotely by NCDHR coaches via Zoom. | | Posted | | Count of Units | | Partner Sites | | Baseline to 18 Months | Partner Sites | Partner Sites | | ID | Title | Description |

| OG000 | Behavioral: Deaf Weight Wise Intervention | Deaf Weight Wise is a group intervention lead by trained, American Sign Language (ASL)-fluent coaches, who utilize an existing evidence-based curriculum that emphasizes healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle components. It is a behavior change intervention that uses motivational interviewing techniques to help participants identify/recognize unhealthy behaviors, build skills that will promote behavior change, and help group members to support each other to make behavior changes. Following baseline appointments, a coach from each implementation site led the group intervention via virtual video communication platform (Zoom), with about 5 participants per group. As additional participants enrolled, new groups were formed. Subjects were asked to complete a daily food and physical activity diary during the 16-week curriculum. Each session included a weigh-in, personal sharing and problem solving, discussion of a weight management topic, and a discussion on goal setting and action planning for the next week. After the 16-week curriculum, the intervention included a 6-month follow up and an 12-month maintenance phase. Following informed consent, data collection surveys were conducted via online ASL video surveys with English text support at baseline (pre-intervention), 6 months after baseline (post-intervention), and 18 months after baseline (post-maintenance). Data collection interviews at all data collection points were conducted by ASL-fluent research staff. |

| Secondary | Participant-Level Outcome: Mean Difference From Baseline to 6 Months (Pre- to Post-Intervention) in Number of Fruit and Vegetable Servings Per Day as Measured by the Block Fruit-Vegetable-Fiber Screener | The mean difference from baseline to 6 months (pre- to post-intervention) in self-reported fruit and vegetable servings per day as measured by the Block Fruit-Vegetable-Fiber Screener. The Block Fruit-Vegetable-Fiber Screener is a 10-question survey with responses ranging from: (1) Less than 1/week to (5) 2+/day for each question. An algorithm is then used that incorporates the respondent's age and sex with the additive score from the questions to calculate the Predicted Value for Fruit and Vegetable Servings (Per Day). | Data from 67 participants were used in this analysis. Of the 72 participants who completed the first period of the intervention (baseline to 6 months), 5 did not submit the Block Fruit-Vegetable-Fiber Screener. | Posted | | Mean | Standard Deviation | Fruit and Vegetable Servings per Day | | Baseline to 6 Months (Pre- to Post-Intervention) | | | | ID | Title | Description |

| Secondary | Participant-Level Outcome: Mean Difference From Baseline to 18 Months (Pre-Intervention to Post-Maintenance) in Number of Fruit and Vegetable Servings Per Day as Measured by the Block Fruit-Vegetable-Fiber Screener | The mean change from baseline to 18 months in self-reported physical activity as measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Short Form. The IPAQ records days/week and minutes/day of walking, moderate, and vigorous activity. Scores are expressed in MET-minutes/week using standard values (Walking = 3.3, Moderate = 4.0, Vigorous = 8.0). The total IPAQ score is the sum of all activity categories. Scale range: minimum = 0 (no activity); no fixed maximum, values increase with more activity. Higher scores = better outcome (greater physical activity). | Data from 58 participants were used in this analysis. Of the 63 participants who completed the second period of the intervention (baseline to 18 months), 5 did not submit the Block Fruit-Vegetable-Fiber Screener. | Posted | | Mean | Standard Deviation | Fruit and Vegetable Servings per Day | | Baseline to 18 Months (Pre-Intervention to Post-Maintenance) | | | | ID | Title | Description |
