<p>Objectives: To inform the cultural translation of a US behavioral intervention
(iOTA) for the Chinese population. </p><p>Methods: We conducted a systematic literature
review, counseling Chinese collaborators' experiences, and conducted key informant
interviews. 38 overweight/obese participants (BMI≥24) were recruited in Peking
University Health Science Center and Peking University Third Hospital for the key
informant interview. Only 20 (52.6%) participants (12 female, 8 male) who came to
the face-to-face interview and complete the 20-minute survey were selected for data
analysis. The interviews contained questions about weight loss history, weight related
concerns and barriers during weight loss process, general lifestyles, and also inquiries
of comments and acceptance for each iOTA goal and intervention approach.</p><p>Results:
Physical activity and dieting are the primary options for weight loss. Health and
lack of perseverance are the biggest weight loss concern and barrier. After tailoring
by literature review, all of the tailored iOTA goal and intervention approaches had
more than 80% acceptance except "Red meat no more than 1 time per week" with only
60% acceptance. 20% people found difficulty attending all of the 4 group sessions.</p><p>Conclusion:
iOTA principle is largely accepted by Chinese population with proper cultural modification
focusing on health concerns, perseverance, special eating habit, and social stress.</p><p>Keywords:
