An interventional study of Standard Weight Management Program and Sensible Weigh Program in Weight Loss, sponsored by Jeannine Goetz, PhD. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 21 Months to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-02-03.
Sponsored by Jeannine Goetz, PhD · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to learn if a weight loss program especially designed to address food insecurity is more effective compared to a standard weight loss program.
Low income women are at greater risk of both obesity and food insecurity (not having consistent access to nutritious and adequate amounts of food). Most weight loss programs targeted at low income women do not focus on gaining skills and knowledge to reduce food insecurity.
Eligible participants will be randomized into one of two groups. The two groups will follow different weight management programs. One group will follow a standard weight management program. The other group with follow the investigations program, the $ensible Weigh Program. Participation in the study will last about 9 months.
1,223 studies on the registry are indexed under Body Weight; 131 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 28 is below the median of 64 across 947 interventional studies indexed under Body Weight.
