Reviews Review: Weight-loss Interventions with Hispanic Populations

Results: The review identified only three controlled intervention studies specifically targeting Hispanic populations for weight-loss; most of the available studies were not randomized and did not assess key variables, such as acculturation, type of community of origin, level of education, etc. Most available ‘‘culturally sensitive’’ health-related interventions targeting Hispanic populations do not specify what made the interventions ‘‘culturally sensitive’’ beyond the translation of the materials into Spanish.
