Ethnic minorities continue to be disproportionately affected by obesity and are less likely to access healthcare than Caucasians.
It is therefore imperative that researchers develop novel methods that will attract these difficult-to-reach groups.
The purpose of the present study is to describe characteristics of an urban community sample attracted to a spiritually based, weight loss intervention.
Methods.
Thirteen participants enrolled in a pilot version of Spiritual Self-Schema Therapy (3S) applied to disordered eating behavior and obesity.
Treatment consisted of 12 one-hour sessions in a group therapy format.
At baseline, participants were measured for height and weight and completed a battery of self-report measures.
Results.
The sample was predominantly African-American and Hispanic and a large percentage of the sample was male.
Mean baseline scores of the EDE-Q, YFAS, and the CES-D revealed clinically meaningful levels of eating disordered pathology and depression, respectively.
The overall attrition rate was quite low for interventions targeting obesity.
Discussion.
This application of a spiritually centered intervention seemed to attract and retain a predominantly African-American and Hispanic sample.
By incorporating a culturally congruent focus, this approach may have been acceptable to individuals who are traditionally more difficult to reach.
