Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard Care
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will receive standardized weight management educational materials plus a monetary gift of $60 that can be used to purchase health-promoting supplies to support weight management.
Standard Care
Standard care includes standardized educational materials to promote self-management of body weight along with provision of $60 for participants to purchase supplies or equipment to facilitate weight management.
Daily Self-Weighing
Participants randomly assigned to this arm will receive standardized weight management educational materials plus a commercially available wireless scale. Participants will be instructed to weigh daily and view their weight on the scale's digital display.
Daily Self-Weighing
Participants will receive a wireless digital scale and will be asked to keep the scale in their home, weigh daily at the same time, and view their weight trajectory on the scale's digital display.
