9. Participants age \< 18 will be excluded because we are only using adult practices and a different type of program would be needed for patients \< 18, and age \> 70 years will be excluded because our experience has been that a specially tailored program would be needed. As a design consideration, we wanted to decrease the heterogeneity of the program.
10. Participants with a BMI \> 55 kg/m2 will be excluded because they are likely to require more extensive medical and behavioral care than can be provided in this study.
11. More than 1 participant residing in the same household will be excluded to avoid contamination across the treatment conditions.
