Weight Management Study: AVOID and RESIST Strategies
This study is looking at new ways to help people with overweight or obesity manage their weight. It tests two approaches: AVOID, which helps you change your home food environment and get healthy groceries delivered, and RESIST, which uses coaching and games to help you control impulses around food. All participants will also join a commercial weight management program (WW). Researchers want to see how these strategies affect your body mass index (BMI) over 12 months. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a BMI between 25-45 kg/m2, and can read and speak English. The study aims to enroll about 500 people, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with approximately 503 participants. All participants will receive the WW program and will be randomly assigned to one of four groups, which may include AVOID, RESIST, or both.
- What's involved
- You would receive 6 months of coaching via Zoom, email, or text. You will also have assessments at the start, 6 months, and 12 months. If you live with another eligible household member, they would complete three brief assessments over 12 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your BMI will be measured at 6 months and 12 months after starting the study.
