The University of Illinois, Chicago received a $1,330,736 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to conduct a 6-month randomized controlled trial. The study will compare a Mediterranean diet-based weight management intervention alone versus the same intervention plus training participants to share healthy lifestyle information with their social networks. The goal is to evaluate if empowering participants as "change agents" augments the intervention's effects on weight, body composition, and spill-over benefits to participants' social networks. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029.
