Internet Obesity Treatment Enhanced With Motivational Interviewing

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity

In brief

Internet-based weight control programs have been shown effective in producing weight loss, but in-person delivery of behavioral weight control produces significantly greater weight loss than on-line delivery of the same program. Motivational Interviewing has been shown to increase weight loss when delivered as an adjunct to in-person weight loss programs but has not been examined in conjunction with web-based obesity treatment. Therefore, the overall goal of this project is to determine if the addition of on-line Motivational Interviewing to a web-based group behavioral obesity treatment program will augment weight loss outcomes.
