TL;DR: The authors explored how family members can be effectively involved in Asian American health interventions and developed a conceptual framework of methods of involvement at the stages of intervention development, process, and evaluation, and observed involvement across three stages: (1) intervention development (formative research, review process, material development), (2) intervention process (recruitment, receiving the intervention together, receiving a parallel intervention, enlisting support to achieve goals, voluntary intervention support, agent of family-wide change, and participation gatekeepers), and (3) intervention evaluation (received evaluation together, indirect impact evaluation during intervention).

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that Asian adults consistently emphasized the role of their parents in shaping their idea of a healthy diet, particularly Asian-specific conceptualizations of balance (e.g., "yeet hay" and "yeung hay", while younger participants also emphasized the intersection of diet with emotional and spiritual well-being.

TL;DR: This study is the first to document the efficacy of a HTN and DMII management intervention among South Asian adults in Atlanta, GA and will fill an important gap on the translation and adaption of evidence-based interventions that have relevance to immigrant and minority populations.
