Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Enhanced Lifestyle Weight Management Condition
The Enhanced Lifestyle Weight Management condition participants participated in a 12-week protocol in which training in coping skills to increase self-efficacy and decrease the impact of RA pain on behavioral (e.g., activity, eating) and psychosocial (e.g., mood, relationships) weight loss factors was integrated into a lifestyle behavioral weight loss intervention.
Enhanced Lifestyle Weight Management
The Enhanced Lifestyle Weight Management program was a 12-week protocol in which training in coping skills to increase self-efficacy and decrease the impact of RA pain on behavioral (e.g., activity, eating) and psychosocial (e.g., mood, relationships) weight loss factors were integrated into a lifestyle behavioral weight loss intervention.
Standard Care Control
Participants received standard care of rheumatoid arthritis.
