焦点小组按种族和社会经济地位分层，用于检查肥胖妇女的减肥方法的经验。出现了六个主题：体重维持失败、心理和精神方法的使用、家庭影响和社会期望的作用、非裔美国人亚文化的作用、方法负担能力以及减肥方法的种族差异。为女性量身定制的体重管理干预措施，特别是非裔美国人和社会经济地位低的女性，应考虑到非裔美国人亚文化的特点，并解决负担能力问题，包括维护，结合心理和精神原则的策略，以及针对家庭的态度和行为。
Focus groups stratified by race and socioeconomic status were used to examine obese women's experiences with weight-loss methods. Six themes emerged: failure of weight maintenance, use of psychological and spiritual approaches, role of family influences and societal expectations, role of African American subculture, method affordability, and racial differences in weight-loss methods. Tailored weight-management interventions for women, particularly African Americans and those of low socioeconomic status, should account for features of African American subculture and address affordability concerns, include maintenance, strategies that incorporate psychological and spiritual principles, and target family attitudes and behaviors.
