To Test the Effectiveness and Implementation Approach of a 3-month PILI Pasifika Program Lifestyle Program With Components of Social Determinants of Health Activities in Real-world Settings (Clinical and Non-clinical Settings) Across 3 Years

In this study, the investigators are conducting a Type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate the implementation of the Community Health Workers (CHW)-delivered PILI Pasifika Program (PPP) across 3 regions, the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, among 400 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) participants in two settings, (clinical and non-clinical) over a 3-year period. The PPP is a 3-month lifestyle intervention that includes a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and was NHPI-adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Program, renamed to the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP), which demonstrated effectiveness in improving weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and diet among NHPIs. The PPP consists of 8 lifestyle lessons and 4 SDOH activities delivered over a 3-month period. The aims of this study are threefold: 1. To evaluate the implementation of the PPP across multiple community sites using a Type 3 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design guided by established frameworks such as RE-AIM and PRISM. 2. To examine participant-level outcomes associated with PPP implementation, including changes in cardiometabolic risk factors, health behaviors, and SDOH factors from baseline to 3 and 9-month follow-up. 3. To evaluate the cost and cost-effectiveness of implementing the PPP across community settings.

Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) continue to disproportionally experience high rates of cardiometabolic conditions, including obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. To address these inequities, the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Intervention (DPP-LI) was developed and subsequently culturally and contextually adapted into the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP). Through consolidation and collaboration with NHPIs to revamp the DPP-LI, the original 16 lessons were modified into 8 lessons delivered over a 3-month period. These lessons offer empirically supported strategies, based on the Social Cognitive Theory, to improve healthy eating, physical activity, and time and stress management. Community Health Workers (CHWs) serve as frontline public health workers and trusted community resources who can effectively disseminate and implement cardiometabolic-related interventions across diverse settings. The trusting relationship CHWs have with communities enables them to serve as a liaison and intermediaries between health, social, and cultural services and the community, facilitating access to services and improving their quality and cultural competence. NHPI CHWs are uniquely positioned to deliver effective interventions that improve cardiometabolic health outcomes and address their social determinants. The PLP was adapted to include a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and evaluated for its effectiveness in ClinicalTrials NCT06471595, resulting in what is now known as the PILI Pasifika Program (PPP).
