Examining the Dose-Response Relationship in the Veterans Health Administration's MOVE!^® Weight Management Program: A Nationwide Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For more than a decade, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has offered MOVE!, a comprehensive lifestyle intervention for weight management. However, there is limited knowledge to inform resource allocation decisions at the health system level-for example, the choice between reaching new veterans with weight management treatment, re-engaging veterans who have stopped attending, and/or increasing contact with current MOVE!

Participants

Objective

To inform VHA policy and planning, this VHA-wide study examines the relationship between MOVE! participation and weight outcomes.

Design

A longitudinal observational study of veterans across VHA who participated in MOVE!.

Participants

Veterans who initiated their most recent episode of MOVE! care
