Study to Promote Weight Loss in Primary Care Practices
- Conditions
- Obesity
- Registration Number
- NCT00749606
- Lead Sponsor
- State University of New York - Upstate Medical University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if primary care based, telephone-delivered weight loss interventions are effective.
- Detailed Description
Obesity is related to the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes. Cost-effective interventions leading to sustained weight loss are needed to improve the public health and reverse the alarming rise in diabetes, its cardiovascular complications and other obesity-related illnesses. The Diabetes Prevention Program is identified as a model for a successful weight loss intervention. The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial of 2 active telephone-based interventions based on the Diabetes Prevention Model that will be delivered at primary care sites.
