Data from participants in Athens CHIP classes from May 2011 to present will be analyzed to
evaluate the differences in outcomes based on: 1) gender, 2) age, 3) whether a household
member participated in the class with them.

Participants had health screens before and after completing the class. The data from the
health screens that will be utilized for comparison will include: body mass index (BMI),
blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar and lipid levels.

Identified data will be provided to the PI from Live Healthy Appalachia/CHIP on a flash
drive. This data will be password protected by the research team. The data will consist of
two different databases, 1) identifiers with health screen results, 2) identifiers with
demographics (age, gender, household member in class). The researchers need data from both
databases for this study. Each participant has been assigned a unique participant number by
CHIP.

The databases will be combined by the research team, allowing the demographics to be matched
to the biomarkers. The unique CHIP identifier will be maintained as a participant ID, while
all other identifying data will then be deleted from the database.

The data will then be analyzed for relationships by a statistician.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Enrolled in The Complete Health Improvement Program

- Signed the CHIP Request to Participate consent form, which includes the statement: "I
understand that my test results are confidential but may be used for statistical
analysis and group summaries."

- Completed both health screens
