Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Addresses barriers to health for the LB community, and promotes overall health and wellbeing. The intervention will incorporate community-identified weight loss/risk reduction needs of this population. Following the completion of the surveys and interventions, collected data will be used to develop, deliver and evaluate a curriculum for medical professionals, which will emphasize working with LB women's particular needs and expectations.
