Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Weight Loss Only
Group-based behavioral weight loss intervention designed to reach clinically significant weight loss (\~5-10% of baseline weight).
Weight Loss Only
24- month weight loss program (year 1: weekly in person meetings for 6 months, followed by 2 meetings per month for 3 months, then monthly for 3 months; year 2: monthly phone calls)
Weight Loss Plus
Group-based behavioral weight loss intervention designed to reach clinically significant weight loss (\~5-10% of baseline weight) plus community-level strategies to support healthy weight. Strategies are based on CDC's recommended community strategies and are developed by local contractors. They include expanded farmers markets/gardens, improvement to walking trails, etc.
Weight Loss Plus
Participants will attend in-person weekly sessions (about 1.5 hours each) for 6 months and then twice a month for 3 months and monthly for 3 months. Sessions focus on behavioral techniques supporting healthy diet (including calorie restriction for weight loss) and achieving recommended amounts of physical activity per week. During 1-year weight loss maintenance, participants receive monthly motivational phone calls.
Control
Educational materials and optional participation in community-wide cancer awareness activities.
Control
Participants receive quarterly newsletters containing generic cancer prevention messages and participate in community-wide cancer awareness educational sessions.
