State-wide Health Approach to Increase Reach and Effectiveness: Study 2

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Obesity

In brief

Behavioral weight loss programs can successfully reduce body weight, but these programs are available to limited numbers of overweight and obese individuals. This project evaluates a unique weight loss approach that combines a self-sustaining weight loss campaign (for outreach) with training in behavioral weight loss strategies and tests the efficacy of adding components designed to enhance accountability and increase motivation for weight loss.
