“…Cultural adaptations and individual tailoring, or subgroup analysis of outcomes of interest was not reported for the Asian American subgroups in these three large RCT studies. Following these study exclusions, seven studies were identified for review (Sun et al, 1996, Liao et al, 2002, Han et al, 2010, Qi et al, 2011, Dirige et al, 2013, Islam et al, 2013, Wang et al, 2013). Table 1 provides a descriptive summary of reviewed studies including: RTC design characteristics, sample characteristics, intervention characteristics, cultural appropriateness assessment, risk of bias assessment, and evidence of efficacy.…”

“…Three out of seven RCTs identified a theoretical framework to guide the intervention design. Two (Han et al, 2010, Qi et al., 2011) used Bandura's social cognitive learning and self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1989), and one (Dirige et al, 2013) used the transtheoretical model (Prochaska and DiClemente, 1983). …”

“…One was a cluster-RCT of community groups (Dirige et al, 2013) and three were pilot-RCTs (Sun et al, 1996, Qi et al, 2011, Islam et al, 2013). Two RCTs were conducted in the western U.S. - California (Dirige et al, 2013) and Washington (Liao et al, 2002), where over 70% of Asian Americans reside (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010, 2013). Five RCTs were conducted in the eastern U.S. (Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New York) (Qi et al, 2011, Islam et al, 2013, Wang et al, 2013, Sun et al, 1996, Han et al, 2010).…”

Objective Asian Americans are the fastest-growing race in the United States. However, they are largely underrepresented in health research, particularly lifestyle interventions. A systematic review was conducted to analyze the characteristics and quality of lifestyle intervention literature promoting changes in physical activity (PA), diet, and/or weight management targeting Asian Americans. Method A systematic electronic database search identified randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT), involving lifestyle interventions for Asian Americans, published from 1995 to 2013 conducted in the U.S. Data extraction was conducted from August through December 2013. Results Seven RCTs met the review criteria. Cross-study comparisons were difficult due to diversity in: RCT intervention designs, cultural appropriateness, outcome measures, sample size, and race/ethnic groups. Overall, risk of bias and cultural appropriateness scores were moderate to low. Five out of seven RCTs showed significant between group differences for PA, diet, and weight. In general, sample sizes were small or lacked sufficient power to fully analyze intervention efficacy. Conclusion Evidence of the efficacy for lifestyle interventions among Asian Americans was mixed. Recommendations include: more rigorous RCT designs, more objective measures, larger Asian American sample sizes, culturally appropriate interventions, individual tailoring, maintenance phase with support, and providing education and modeling of lifestyle behaviors.

Hypertension is a common chronic health condition affecting Filipino Americans. This pilot study examined the feasibility of addressing high rates of hypertension among Filipino Americans through the implementation of a culturally tailored education intervention. Filipino Americans living in the Greater Philadelphia Area were recruited through Community Based Organizations for participation and were engaged using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) framework. The study included pre-and post-intervention blood pressure measurements, selfreported body mass index, and questionnaires about physical activity and salt intake. The intervention to promote physical activity and reduce salt intake was conducted through two educational sessions and was accompanied by follow-up at 3 months and by the collection of urine samples for 24-hour urinary sodium intake biomarker analysis. Following intervention, a nonstatistically significant decrease in urine sodium was observed in both the intervention and the control groups. For systolic blood pressure, a reduction of 12.6 mmHg and an increase in 5.3 mmHg was observed in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Diastolic pressure decreased 3.8 mmHg for the intervention group and increased 5.6 mmHg among controls. The Conflict of interestThe authors declare they have no conflict of interest. Ethical ApprovalThe study was approved by the Temple University Institutional Review Board. All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.

Abstract: Using culturally specific organizations to deliver NPA interventions was feasible and effective among Filipino-Americans. Similar multilevel approaches should be investigated in other cultures.
