Developing culturally appropriate obesity prevention programs for African American (AA) adolescent girls that account for psychological risk factors is paramount to addressing health disparities. The current study was part of an investigation utilizing a community-based participatory research framework to gather qualitative data from urban AA girls, their caregivers, and community health liaisons to develop a novel obesity prevention program based on interpersonal psychotherapy for the prevention of excessive weight gain (IPT-WG). In the current study with urban AAs, data from seven focus groups (total sample size, N = 40) were analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants identified problematic eating behaviors, including binge or loss of control eating; highlighted the importance of interpersonal relationships, mood functioning, and eating; and supported the tenets of IPT-WG. While features of IPT-WG generally resonated with participants, culturally based modifications were suggested. These data will be used to inform the development of a culturally relevant IPT-WG program.
