African Americans face persistent health inequities. Obesity is linked to multiple chronic disease conditions and prevalence has climbed sharply in the last decades (Budd & Peterson, 2014; Samuel-Hodge et al., 2009) - especially for African Americans. African American churches and relationships between its members are trusted community resources that support and promote health. Health disparities are best addressed by understanding and optimizing resources, such as churches, within environments where people live, work, play and pray. Dyadic peer support has been used successfully to promote weight loss and improve diabetes management. It is recommended as a potential health promotion strategy for African Americans. This dissertation explored the concept of religious social capital as a health promoting asset, and the feasibility of using dyadic peer support to promote healthy weight in African American churches. To our knowledge, using dyadic peer support to promote healthy weight among members in African American churches has not been explored. The Transactive Goal Dynamics Model, Community Empowerment Theory, and the Socioecological Model provided the theoretical framework for this dissertation.
