The Wellness Engagement (WE) Project is an academic-community partnership developed to engage the community to inform the development of a pilot intervention aimed at promoting healthy eating and physical activity among residents of Petersburg, Virginia.
To implement House Chats as a novel methodology for engaging community members in focused discussion about obesity, exercise, dietary intake, and barriers to health.
We recruited and trained laypersons as House Chat Leaders (HCLs) to host informal group discussions about obesity with members of their network in a social setting following predetermined questions.
HCLs hosted 34 House Chats with 176 participants over a period of 4 months.
The House Chat proved to be a highly successful engagement strategy that allowed access to respondents who may not have participated in a traditional, focus group discussion.

实施家庭聊天作为一种新颖的方法,让社区成员参与关于肥胖、运动、饮食摄入和健康障碍的重点讨论。
我们招募并培训外行人作为家庭聊天领导者(HCL),按照预先确定的问题,在社交环境中与他们社交网络中的成员就肥胖问题进行非正式小组讨论。
家庭聊天领导者在4个月的时间里主持了34次家庭聊天,有176名参与者。
家庭聊天被证明是一种非常成功的参与策略,能够接触到那些可能不会参加传统焦点小组讨论的受访者。
