简要总结
This trial studies the effectiveness of patient navigators in facilitating weight management in obese participants. Health coaches or patient navigators may help more participants take part in weight management programs.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the effectiveness of patient navigators to increase enrollment in evidence-based weight management programs.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the effectiveness of patient navigators to increase overall attendance or use of evidence-based weight management programs.
II. To evaluate the effectiveness of patient navigators to promoting and facilitating positive health behavior change: increased physical activity; improved diet; and weight loss.
