Abstract: The Office of Women's Health (OWH) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Coordinating Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Issues has prioritized the collection of health data on LGBT populations. In response, OWH funded an initiative to "identify and test effective and innovative ways of reducing obesity in lesbian and bisexual women" (HHS, 2012). The Doing It For Ourselves (DIFO) program, developed in San Francisco in a community-driven collaboration, aims to test an intervention that promotes healthy weight, increased quality of life and overall well being in lesbian and bisexual (LB) women age 40 years and older. The program consists of 12 weekly group educational and support sessions, two hours of personal coaching, and web-based health resources on nutrition, physical activity, and health problems common to older sexual minority women. The program will be evaluated using a randomized step-wedge design. Women will be recruited and then randomized into a treatment a control group, which will receive a delayed treatment. The goal is to treat a total of 112 women in three parts of the Bay Area: San Francisco, the East Bay, and Santa Rosa. Program effects will be tested using pre, immediate post, and three-month post surveys.
