The Short-Term Effect of a Technology Driven Weight Control (SMART) Program for Obese Adults

N/ACompletedNCT00624598
Colorado Center for Chronic Care Innovations, Inc.110 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short-term effect of a technology based weight reduction program for obese (BMI \> 30 kg/m2) adults in a primary care office.

Medical Language ↔ Plain English
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participant between the ages of 18-65 years. 2. Participant with a BMI (Body Mass Index \> 30.0 kg/m2) 3. Have access and use email a minimum of 2-days per week. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participant is not pregnant or lactating: Weight loss is not recommended for pregnant women and extra energy requirements are essential for fetal development (Butte, Wong, Treuth, Ellis, \& O'Brian Smith, 2004; Durnin, 1991). 2. Participant is not currently participating in any structured/self-help weight loss program. The elimination of individuals actively participating in a current weight loss program will reduce the potential of a carry-over effect from these weight loss modalities (Fife-Shaw, 2006). 3. Participant has not attempted weight loss in the past 3 months. Same as number two.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Individuals receiving a technology-based weight reduction program will not have a significant increase in psychosocial constructs (i.e. weight self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control, attitude) compared to control group.

Time frame: 10 weeks

Individuals receiving a technology-based weight reduction program will not improve eating behaviors (i.e. dietary cognitive restraint, emotional eating, uncontrolled eating) compared to control group.

Time frame: 10 weeks

Individuals receiving a technology-based weight reduction program will not lose significantly more weight compared to control group.

Time frame: 10 weeks

Individuals receiving a technology-based weight reduction program will not significantly improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to control group(controlled for Bp medications).

Time frame: 10 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Individuals receiving a technology-based weight reduction program will not significantly improve weight quality of life compared to control group.

Time frame: 10 weeks

There is no relationship between psychosocial values (i.e. weight self-efficacy, weight perceived behavioral control, weight attitude) and eating behaviors (i.e. dietary cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating).

Time frame: 10 Weeks
