Brief Summary

This study is a 24-week, single-arm trial investigating the feasibility of a flipped classroom behavioral intervention for weight management. The investigators will recruit up to 30 adults ages 18+ with a body mass index greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2 to participate in weekly, 1-hour group weight management education delivered remotely via Zoom with a trained health educator. Participants will receive a dietary prescription of 1200-1500 calories/day (5 portion-controlled meals and 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables) and exercise prescription of 150-300 minutes exercise/week. Additionally, participants will be asked to self-monitor diet and exercise adherence weekly. Feasibility outcomes will be collected at baseline, 12-weeks, and 24-weeks.

GroupInterventionDescription
Group Health EducationFlipped ClassroomParticipants will be complete a total of 24, 1-hour group sessions with a health educator (exercise physiologist). The group size will be 10-15 participants and will be completed via Zoom. Prior to each group meeting, participants will email their weekly self-monitoring sheets to their health educator to review diet and exercise adherence. Each group session will follow a pre-determined structure: group discussion, review of adherence, 5 to 10 minutes of physical activity, and an active learning-based activity.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Attendance24 weeks

Attendance to the group education sessions will be measured weekly and evaluated by the health educator. Attendance records will be entered into the study REDCap database.

Attrition24 weeks

Attrition rate will be measured at the end of the intervention measured as the percent of participants who completed all 24 weeks of the weight loss program.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Weight24 weeks

Participants will be weighed at the outpatient weight management clinic in a private room by a registered nurse prior to the participant seeing a clinic physician. Weight will be collected to the nearest 0.1 kg.

Height24 weeks

Participant height will be measured at the outpatient weight management clinic in a private room by a registered nurse prior to the participant seeing a clinic physician. Standing height will be measured using a stadiometer and collected to the nearest 1 cm.

Body Mass Index24 weeks

Body Mass Index will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (cm) squared.

Diet Adherence24 weeks

Adherence to the diet prescription will be measured weekly via participant self-report. Participants will report daily total number of shakes, number of entrees, servings of fruit and vegetables, and days off plan. The self-monitoring sheet will be submitted via email to the health educator prior to each group session. The health educator will provide individual feedback based on self-reported adherence.

Exercise Adherence24 weeks

Adherence to the diet and exercise prescription will be measured weekly via participant self-report. Participants will report daily minutes of exercise and steps taken. The self-monitoring sheet will be submitted via email to the health educator prior to each group session. The health educator will provide individual feedback based on self-reported adherence.
