Computer Intervention for Prevention of Weight Regain
Computer Intervention for Prevention of Weight Regain
Many overweight patients are able to lose weight successfully, but then regain their weight.
 The purpose of this study is to develop and test the efficacy of 2 interventions to prevent
 weight regain in individuals who have recently lost weight. The two interventions being
 tested are a face-to-face group maintenance program and an Internet intervention. These
 interventions will be compared to a no-contact control group that receives quarterly
 newsletters. The primary outcome measure is weight regain from baseline to 18-months.
