Barriers and facilitators to developing faith-based peer interventions in Islamic religious settings for obesity prevention in women: A qualitative exploratory study

Faith-based peer interventions could serve as a culturally and religiously sensitive approach to address obesity-related inequalities in this demographic.

The success of future interventions would depend on co-production, reorganising religious spaces as community hubs, fostering inclusivity, and encouraging female leadership.
