Cuidano El Corazon（CEC；照顾你的心脏）旨在评估适应文化的减肥和锻炼计划对墨西哥裔美国人实现长期减肥的效果。 CEC采用以家庭为导向的方法来实现生活方式和行为的改变。参与者被分配到1）一个只有小册子的对照组，该组收到一本手册，其中包括行为改变、营养和运动信息以及修改脂肪含量的传统食谱； 2) 一个单独的小组接受相同的手册并参加强调改变家庭饮食和锻炼习惯的技术的课程。家庭和个人组的体重减轻明显大于仅信息组。家庭参与组的体重减轻幅度最大，而纯信息对照组的体重减轻幅度最小。
Cuidano El Corazon (CEC; Taking Care of Your Heart) was designed to assess the effectiveness of a culturally adapted weight-reduction and exercise program for achieving long-term weight loss in Mexican Americans. CEC used a family-oriented approach to achieve lifestyle change in behavior. Participants were assigned to 1) a booklet-only comparison group that received a manual including behavior change, nutrition, and exercise information and traditional recipes modified in fat content; 2) an individual group that received the same manual and attended classes that emphasized techniques for making changes in the family's eating and exercising habits. The family and individual groups had significantly greater weight losses than the information-only group. Weight loss was greatest in the family-involvement group and least in the information-only comparison group.
