Brief Summary

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

Obesity is a major health problem that has reached epidemic levels. Efforts are needed to develop cost-effective public health approaches for weight loss and maintenance. One such approach is to develop team-based programs that may motivate people to lose weight and/or increase their physical activity. One such program is entitled Shape-up Rhode Island (SURI). The current trial is investigating whether adding both a behavioral intervention delivered online PLUS automated feedback to self-monitoring would enhance the outcomes of SURI participants.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Given the epidemic of obesity, approaches to weight loss that can be applied on a community, state, or national level are needed. This project is an ongoing evaluation of Shape Up Rhode Island (SURI) program, a state-wide Internet based program involving team-based competition to increase physical activity and achieve weight loss.

Aim: To enhance the effectiveness of SURI utilizing a minimal contact intervention delivered online.

Design: SURI 2009 participants were invited to join a research study focusing on weight loss. Interested participants were randomized to two groups including a SURI Enhanced group (behavioral intervention presented in 12 weekly online presentations, daily self-monitoring, and weekly automated feedback) or a SURI Standard group (group given a list of previously existing online resources to aid with weight loss).

SURI Enhanced

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Evaluation of the Shape Up RI Campaign

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The SURI enhanced group will receive the standard Shape Up RI program. In addition, participants will be asked to record and report their daily calorie intake, body weight, minutes of physical activity, and pedometer steps. Participants will receive automated feedback on progress as well as a behavioral lesson delivered online during each week of the program. Participants assigned to the SURI Standard arm will receive the standard Shape Up RI program. The intervention will take place during the 12-week Shape Up RI campaign.
