Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The specific aim of the proposed project is to test two separate self-regulation interventions to prevent weight gain in young adults, one based on making sustained small changes in behavior to prevent weight gain and the other on making periodic larger behavior changes resulting in weight loss.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

One arm is a large changes group in which participants will be asked to make periodic large changes in their eating and activity, aimed at producing initial weight loss, in order to prevent weight gain over time.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

large changes in eating and activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Behavioral self-regulation interventions to prevent weight gain in young adults.

2

The second arm is a small changes group in which participants will be asked to make small changes to their eating and activity and maintain these changes forever in order to prevent weight gain.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

small changes in eating and activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Behavioral self-regulation interventions to prevent weight gain in young adults.
