 Through a collaborative process guided by Community-Engaged Research CEnR approaches with a community-academic partnership involving UNMC students, community leaders, the investigators plan to create and disseminate local knowledge about obesity in rural men. Specifically, the investigators plan to 1 document the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a weight loss intervention among rural men, a current gap in the NIH health disparities portfolio, 2 engage rural communities through student-informed outreach approaches and CAB partnership linkages to improve the efficacy of weight loss interventions for rural men, and 3 strengthen the research environment of the University of Nebraska Medical Center UNMC institution through providing opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to conduct CEnR.
