Purpose This study aimed to assess the impact of a culturally targeted lifestyle course on the dietary and weight outcomes of Asian Americans. Design This was an observational study of participants for a culturally targeted lifestyle course taught online by a Nutrition Scientist and Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. Setting From 2021 to 2022, 284 participants were recruited through 4 community organizations in Texas and completed the informed consent. Subjects 140 Chinese Americans finished 3 surveys before, after, and 6 months after the course. Measures Participants' fruit and vegetable consumption was assessed using the questionnaire from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and their physical activities were evaluated by the Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire. Analysis We conducted repeated measures ANOVA to compare participants' dietary and weight outcomes before, after, and 6 months after the course. Paired t-tests were performed to investigate how the outcomes differed from the baseline. Results The participants' weights and BMI values at the 6-month follow-up were significantly lower than the baseline, though the changes were not significant immediately after the course. Rice consumption dropped significantly both after the class and at the 6-month follow-up. Participants also significantly reduced their intake of 100% juice and fried potatoes immediately after the class. Conclusion Community-based Participatory Approaches might be used to improve the dietary and weight outcomes of Asian Americans.
