Elevate Weight Loss Trial: Remote Approaches for Optimizing Weight Loss
This study, called the Elevate Weight Loss Trial, is looking at different ways to help people lose weight using remote programs. It compares an automated online weight loss program with a group-based video conference program. It also examines if adding individual coaching helps more than not having coaching. All participants will receive a 12-month behavioral weight loss program with goals for weight loss, calorie intake, and exercise. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25-45 kg/m2 (a measure of body fat based on your height and weight), and have daily internet access. The study will measure how much weight you lose and how much support you feel after 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 490 people.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study where participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: automated program with coaching, automated program without coaching, group video conference program with coaching, or group video conference program without coaching.
- What's involved
- You would participate in a 12-month weight loss program, which includes weekly goals, daily self-monitoring of diet, exercise, and weight, and feedback. Depending on your group, you might view video lessons, attend group video sessions, or have monthly individual coaching sessions via video conference.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Assessments will occur at baseline, 6 months (mid-treatment), 12 months (post-treatment), and 18 months (following 6 months of no intervention).

What this trial measures
- Percent weight change12 months
Weight change will be assessed via smart scales using weight at baseline and 12 months and calculated as follows: (\[12-month weight minus baseline weight\] / baseline weight \* 100).
- Change in perceived support12 months
Perceived support will be measured via the Important Others Questionnaire. Scores on this questionnaire range from 12 to 84 with higher scores indicating a greater perception of support from important others. Change in perceived support will be calculated as follows: 12-month perceived support minus baseline perceived support.
