Rationale and study protocol for Unidas por la Vida (United for Life): a dyadic weight-loss intervention for high-risk Latina mothers and their adult daughters.
The intervention aims to improve health behaviors and promote weight loss in two at-risk members of the same family: mothers with type 2 diabetes and their overweight/obese adult daughters who are at risk for developing diabetes. Both the dyadic and individual lifestyle interventions are expected to produce greater weight loss at 6, 12, and 18 months than those in minimal intervention control group.

Impact of multiple chronic conditions on activity limitations among older Mexican-American care recipients.
The authors examined the impact of multiple chronic conditions on basic activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) limitations. They found that care recipients with three or more chronic conditions had higher odds of having mobility limitations, self-care limitations, more than three ADL limitations, and more than three IADL limitations.

Perceived barriers and preferred components for physical activity interventions in African-American survivors of breast or endometrial cancer with type 2 diabetes: the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework.
The study’s objectives were to explore the perspectives of African American survivors with type 2 diabetes on perceived barriers to physical activity (PA) and preferences for a PA intervention and develop a framework for a PA program after cancer treatment. Nine themes were identified that focused on post-treatment physical symptoms. The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework summarizes the survivors' preferences for effective lifestyle interventions such as supporting efforts to maintain PA.
