Trial Outcomes & Findings for Improving Weight Management at the VA (NCT NCT02626819)

NCT ID: NCT02626819

Last Updated: 2018-12-21

Results Overview

Weight Change from baseline to 3 months. Two weight measurements were taken using a Medline MDR500PHY Physician Digital Scale equipped with height rod. The two weight measurements were averaged. Weight was measured in kilograms and height taken at the baseline, using these two measures Body Mass Index was calculated.

Measure
Arm 1: Receiving MOVE! Toward Your Goals
Receiving MOVE! Toward Your Goals intervention (MTG tool, health coaching at baseline, follow-up health coaching calls, potential support of goals from primary care provider) MOVE! Toward Your Goals: Patients will take an online tool accessing weight management and lifestyle behaviors, and will meet with a health coach regularly to establish SMART goals to help them in their weight loss journey. The goals may be supported by the patients' PACT members
Arm 2: Receiving Enhanced Usual Care
Receiving Enhanced Usual Care (standard VA Health Living Messages handouts, potential support of weight management efforts from primary care provider) Enhanced Usual Care: Patients will be given information on "healthy living messages" that were created by the VA, and given more information on specific messages they are interested in from the health coaches, but will not receive official coaching. These messages are the current standard of care at the VA for obesity counseling.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 Months

Population: Weight change was analyzed using Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test along with multiple imputations to adjust for missing data.

Weight Change from baseline to 3 months. Two weight measurements were taken using a Medline MDR500PHY Physician Digital Scale equipped with height rod. The two weight measurements were averaged. Weight was measured in kilograms and height taken at the baseline, using these two measures Body Mass Index was calculated.
