State-wide Health Approach to Increase Reach and Effectiveness: Study 3

Completed · Not applicable

In brief

The investigators have shown that adding an internet behavioral weight loss program to a statewide campaign improves weight loss outcomes. However, our follow-up data suggest that once the intervention is stopped, participants begin to experience weight regain. Thus, the purpose of this project is extend this line of work and pilot test health coaches and monetary incentives for weight loss maintenance. The investigators hypothesize that coaching and incentives will improve longer-term weight outcomes.
