Inequalities in the uptake of, adherence to and effectiveness of behavioural weight management interventions: systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

It has been suggested that interventions focusing on individual behaviour change, such as behavioural weight management interventions, may exacerbate health inequalities. These intervention-generated inequalities may occur at different stages, including intervention uptake, adherence and effectiveness.
