Brief Summary:
The purpose of the Deaf Weight Wise study is to test a 16 week, evidence-based, comprehensive program to change obesity-related health behaviors in Deaf people who use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.
Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms - immediate intervention or delayed intervention. In addition to the intervention activities, participants will also take part in five study visits over the course of two years. At these study visits, the investigators will administer several surveys as well as conduct biometric assessments.
The investigators primary hypothesis is that the immediate intervention group will increase their levels of physical activity and reduce their caloric intake and body weight immediately following the intervention, compared to the delayed intervention group.
