The Office on Women's Health (OWH) and
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Coordinating
Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) Issues
has prioritized the collection of health data on LGBT populations.
The George Washington University and Whitman Walker Health Clinic's
Mautner Project, a community organization that promotes the health
and wellness of lesbian and bisexual women, developed "MOVE: Making
Our Vitality Evident." This program responds to Goal 1, Strategy
1-2 and Goal 4, Strategy 4-1 of the 2012 IOM report on Accelerating
Progress in Obesity Prevention. To achieve Strategy 1-2, two
cohorts of 20 women each will participate in a 12 week curriculum
that focuses on health and nutrition education, physical activity,
and social support. To achieve Strategy 4-1, MOVE will conduct
trainings for up to 150 providers on culturally competent care for
interacting with and treating obese and overweight lesbian and
bisexual patients. The MOVE intervention and evaluation is designed
to target women aged 40 and older living in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area and will last for up to one year.
