Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Aim 1: Explore attitudes and perceptions about weight gain during the menopause transition, and identify weight loss strategies from the patient (peer) perspective.
\- The investigators will apply these learnings: 1) to understand barriers for weight management during menopause; 2) to establish strategies to guide retention; 3) to finalize the intervention structure, including feedback on the frequency and duration of the study visits; and 4) to gather feedback on menopause-specific education resources set to be provided throughout the intervention.
Aim 2: Engage the Community Advisory Board (CAB) of the Louisiana Clinical and Translational Center (LA CaTS) to understand scalability and community-based implementation of an intervention tailored for women in perimenopause.
\- The investigators will then utilize the Louisiana Clinical \& Translational Science Center (LA CaTS) Community Advisory Board (CAB) to help us tailor a lifestyle intervention in perimenopausal women with emphasis on scalability and community-based implementation using learnings obtained from the focus groups.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
High SES / African-American Women
Semi-structured focus groups of 6 to 8 women per group will be conducted. Women in these groups will be of higher socioeconomic status (SES) and will be African-American/Black.
Focus Groups
The investigators are enrolling up to 56 women (total) to participate in semi-structured focus groups of 6-8 women per group conducted either in-person or virtually (online) to help us tailor a lifestyle intervention for midlife women during perimenopause.
High SES / Caucasian Women
Semi-structured focus groups of 6 to 8 women per group will be conducted. Women in these groups will be of higher socioeconomic status (SES) and will be Caucasian/White.
