Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
1
A 24-week intervention in which individuals will meet weekly to be instructed on behavioral change associated with weight loss, including modifying dietary intake, self-monitoring weight and eating behaviors, and increasing physical activity.
Standard behavioral treatment for weight loss
A 24-week intervention in which individuals will meet weekly to be instructed on behavioral change associated with weight loss, including modifying dietary intake, self-monitoring weight and eating behaviors, and increasing physical activity.
2
A 24-week intervention in which individuals will meet weekly to be instructed on behavioral change associated with weight loss, including modifying dietary intake, self-monitoring weight and eating behaviors, and increasing physical activity. In this intervention, individuals not meeting weight loss goals will be given one-on-one treatment.
Modified behavioral treatment for weight loss
A 24-week intervention in which individuals will meet weekly to be instructed on behavioral change associated with weight loss, including modifying dietary intake, self-monitoring weight and eating behaviors, and increasing physical activity. In this intervention, individuals not meeting weight loss goals will be given one-on-one treatment.
