Home > STRIDE Project Summary and Resources
STRIDE is an evidence-based lifestyle program that aims to promote a healthy weight among adults who are prescribed antipsychotic medications and who are overweight or obese. The intervention emphasizes moderate caloric reduction, the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, and physical activity.
The 18-month STRIDE implementation project (January 2021-June 2022) involved intensive TA to a single large Behavioral Health Organization in Tacoma WA to implement STRIDE groups to improve health outcomes among their adult clients with psychosis. Northwest MHTTC partnered with the developers of the STRIDE intervention, researchers and trainers from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland OR. Together, we supported Comprehensive Life Resources to launch STRIDE lifestyle groups and develop a plan for sustaining and scaling this program throughout the adult outpatient care programs at their organization.
