About

To date, few dissemination and implementation (D&I) studies exist of successful healthy eating interventions delivered through restaurant settings. Therefore, the proposed study will investigate the following aims:

Aim 1: Examine reach and adoption of a modified, 12-week NEW Soul vegan intervention delivered through a train-the-trainer approach in a soul food vegan restaurant.

Aim 2: Assess resource use and cost associated with a train-the-trainer D&I approach in a restaurant setting.

Aim 3: Examine effectiveness through changes in participants' diet, self-efficacy, weight loss, and quality of life from baseline to follow-up (3-months) and at maintenance (9-months).

Aim 4: Assess implementation fidelity and participant satisfaction of modified NEW Soul.
