Telehealth Group LIfestyle Balance for People with Stroke (tGLB-CVA)

Experimental group

Description:

The telehealth Group Lifestyle Balance for People post stroke (tGLB-CVA) is a one-year program with 22 sessions. The tGLB-CVA is a modification of the Diabetes Prevention Program Group Lifestyle Balance (DPP-GLB) developed by the University of Pittsburgh Diabetes Prevention Support Center (DPSC). It begins with 12 weekly sessions called the Core Program, followed by a Transition phase consisting of 2 bi-weekly and 2 monthly sessions, and a Support Phase consisting of 6 monthly sessions. The goal of the tGLB-CVA program is to help the participant achieve and maintain a 5-7% weight-loss through healthy eating and physical activity.
