Brief Summary: The study will include overweight and obese otherwise healthy women, recruited from two main borough in Oslo with the highest population of Somali origin. The study comprises two phases: A 12-months controlled trial where the participants in the intervention borough will be compared to participants in the control borough. This is followed by a 12-months maintaining phase for the intervention borough where the control group will be given the same intervention as the intervention group received during the first 12-months.
Detailed Description: Through a research-based intervention program, the overall goal of this project is to promote immigrant health by improving, evolving and adapting a preventive healthcare in the municipality. There is social inequalities and geographical differences in health in Norway. Immigrant women struggle more with overweight and obesity than ethnic Norwegian women, and immigrant women have an increased susceptibility for diabetes and other lifestyle related diseases. In this study, we will measure the effect of a culturally tailored intervention package (physical activity and nutrition) on weight reduction, and cardio-metabolic outcomes, among overweight and obese Somali women. The study will include women (aged 20-67 years) recruited from two boroughs in Oslo with the highest population of Somali origin.

The intervention program composes a 12-month controlled trial. The core component of the program is to counsel and empower women through individual counseling and group education sessions with emphasis on physical activities and the creation of an enabling environment. The goal is that the participants become more physically active, less sedentary, eat healthy, and maintain these changes long term.

All main analysis will be done at data collected at the one-year follow up. In addition, the control group in intervention phase will after the completion of the one-year follow up be given the same intervention as the intervention group.

User involvement is included in the development, planning, implementation and dissemination of the program results. The program will produce evidence, relevant for policy-makers and stakeholders locally and globally, of how to improve health and nutrition strategies towards immigrants and minorities. The program represents a collaboration between Oslo municipality, the University of Oslo and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.
