The overarching goal of this work is to address the limited access to evidence-based health behavior and lifestyle interventions for youth and families most impacted by preventable chronic diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. In the current project, we implement a small single-arm pilot and feasibility trial of Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras (HWB/SSB), a culturally-adapted, whole-family intensive health behavior and lifestyle intervention to 11-19-year-old adolescents and their families living in Northern Colorado. Objectives are refining the HWB/SSB community facilitator training, evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of HWB/SSB implementation, and characterizing changes in health outcomes among adolescent participants.
Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras (HWB/SSB) is a 12-session community-delivered, whole-family intensive health behavior and lifestyle intervention for health promotion and reduction of risk for chronic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes). The program is delivered over 6 weeks and includes mindfulness-based stress reduction training for adolescents, parent/caregiver health education and mindfulness training, youth physical activity, and whole-family nutrition education and cooking/meal preparation. Previous and ongoing work has focused on gathering and using direct input from local community members and families from Southwest Colorado to adapt HWB/SSB to ensure cultural suitability for teenagers and their families in this region. Now, there is a need for further refinement of HWB/SSB community facilitator training and evaluation of the intervention. The HWB/SSB intervention delivery is NOT considered human subjects research; only the evaluation, dissemination, and implementation elements are considered research (objectives described below). The intervention will be delivered regardless of any research study, and participation in the research study is not a requirement for families to enroll in HWB/SSB or for facilitators to facilitate the intervention.
There are three main objectives to this study:

| Health without Barriers/ Salud Sin Barreras (HWB/SSB) | Experimental | HWB/SSB is a community-delivered, whole-family intensive health behavior and lifestyle intervention intended to reduce adolescent risk of chronic diseases (i.e., T2D) through promoting health behaviors and healthy stress management. The program is based on a lifestyle intervention called the Healthy Living Program (HeLP), a family-centered obesity prevention and treatment program for children. Previous and ongoing work has focused on tailoring HWB/SSB implementation to ensure cultural suitability for adolescents and their families in Southwest Colorado. HWB/SSB emphasizes "whole family" involvement including the participation of siblings, elders, other caregivers, and relatives. HWB/SSB is delivered. The HWB/SSB intervention delivery is not considered human subjects research; only the evaluation, dissemination, and implementation elements are considered research. The intervention will be delivered regardless of any research activity. |

| Mindfulness-Based Intervention | Behavioral | Learning to BREATHE (L2B) is an evidence-based mindfulness curriculum for adolescents. L2B in this program consists of 6 sessions of approximately 1 hour per session. In between sessions, participants are asked to practice brief mindfulness skills individually. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Fidelity: Observer Session Ratings | HWB delivery fidelity will be assessed as percentage adherence to the curriculum, determined by HWB trainers ratings of HWB sessions on a standardized checklist. The range is 0% (no adherence) to 100% (complete adherence), with higher scores reflecting better adherence | 6 weeks |
| Intervention Fidelity: Facilitator Session Ratings | HWB delivery fidelity will be assessed as percentage adherence to the curriculum, determined by HWB facilitator ratings of HWB sessions on a standardized checklist. The range is 0% (no adherence) to 100% (complete adherence), with higher scores reflecting better adherence | 6 weeks |
| Intervention Acceptability: Questionnaire | Participants rate and comment on each component of the program (i.e. parent education, physical fitness, mindfulness, etc.) separately. Participants are asked to report on how supported they felt during the program, the helpfulness of the facilitators, the perceived benefits of program participation, and their overall experience participating in the program. This questionnaire will only be completed one time at the post-program follow-up. Intervention acceptability ratings can range from 1=not at all to 5=extremely, with higher scores reflecting better acceptability. | 6 weeks |
| Intervention Feasibility: Attendance | Intervention feasibility will be assessed as percentage of family attendance of HWB sessions. The range is 0% (no attendance) to 100% (complete attendance), with higher scores reflecting better feasibility. | 6 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Acceptability: Qualitative Themes | Adolescents and parents will participate in focus groups post-intervention to discuss their overall experiences with the program and its components. The discussion will explore aspects that were beneficial, identify challenges, and highlight areas for improvement. Themes related to the acceptability of the intervention will be derived from the qualitative analysis of the focus groups. |

| Intervention Training Evaluation: Qualitative Themes | Facilitators will participate in focus groups to discuss their experiences with the training and facilitation process, including aspects that were beneficial, challenges or areas for improvement, their confidence in facilitating, and their experiences working with families. Themes related to the evaluation of the intervention will be derived from the qualitative analysis of the focus group discussions | 6 months |
| Intervention Training Fidelity: Facilitator Knowledge | Facilitators will complete knowledge test following the completion of the facilitator training. The purpose of these tests is to assess their understanding and retention of key concepts, skills, and principles that facilitators need to effectively deliver the intervention. The range is 0% to 100% with 100% reflecting better training. | 6 months |
| Intervention Training Evaluation: Questionnaire | Facilitators will rate and comment on the training process of the HWB program. Questions include topics about how supported facilitators felt during the training process, previous experience in facilitating group programs, confidence in facilitating after the training, and feedback on any recommended modifications to training procedures that they perceive would improve the training process. | 6 months |
| Emotional Regulation | Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (18 items), measures non-acceptance of emotional responses, difficulty engaging in goal-directed behavior, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, limited access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity. Items are rated on a 5-point scale that range from 1 ("Almost never") to 5 ("Almost always"). Items are summed to calculate both a total score and subscale scores for each of the six domains. Higher scores are more negative, suggesting a greater degree of emotional dysregulation. | 1 year |
| Positive Youth Development | Positive Youth Development- Very Short Form, measures positive indicators of child well-being including competence, confidence, character, connection, and caring. This measures has 17 items which are responded to on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 ("Strongly disagree") to 5 ("Strongly agree"). Items are averaged to calculate both a total score and subscale scores for each domains. High scores in each domain indicate stronger, more positive perceptions or experiences of positive development in that area, and higher overall scores suggest a higher level of positive youth development across all domains. | 1 year |
| Dispositional Mindfulness | Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) measures an individual's present-moment attention in daily living (dispositional mindfulness). The MAAS has 15 items which are responded to on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 ("Almost always") to 6 ("Almost never"). Items are averaged to calculate a total score. Higher scores reflect higher levels of dispositional mindfulness. | 1 year |
| Eating behavior | Reward-Based Eating Drive Scale (REDS), a reliable/valid survey instrument of hedonic eating (reward-based eating). The RED has 13 items which are responded to on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 ("Strongly Disagree") to 4 ("Strongly agree). Scores are summed to calculate a total score. Higher scores indicate to greater propensity for reward-related eating. | 1 year |
| Physical activity-engagement | NIH Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS): Pediatric Physical Activity - Short Form, measures the number of times an individual engaged in different types of physical activity in the past 7 days. This form has 4 items which are responded to on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 ("No days") to 5 ("6-7 days"). Items are summed to calculate a total score. Higher scores indicate more frequent engagement in physical activity. | 1 year |
| Physical activity- self-confidence | Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, measures an individual's beliefs in their ability to continue exercising on a three time per week basis at moderate intensities for 40 or more minutes per session in the future. This measure has 8 items which are responded to on a 100-point percentage scale comprised of 10-point increments, ranging from 0% ("not at all confident") to 100% ("highly confident"). The total self-efficacy score is calculated by summing the confidence ratings for all items and dividing by the total number of items in the scale. This produces a score with a maximum possible value of 100, where higher scores indicate greater exercise self-confidence. | 1 year |
| Sleep Quality | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, self-rated questionnaire that assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month interval. The PSQI has 19 self-rated questions. The 19 self-rated items are used to calculate seven "component" scores, each ranging from 0 to 3 points. A score of "0" indicates no difficulty, while a score of "3" indicates severe difficulty. The seven component scores are summed to generate a single "global" score, with a range from 0 to 21 points. A score of "0" indicates no difficulties, while a score of "21" reflects severe difficulties across all areas. Higher scores indicate lower (poorer) sleep quality. | 1 year |
