Evaluation of intervention components to maximize outcomes of behavioral obesity treatment delivered online: A factorial experiment following the multiphase optimization strategy framework.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Behavioral lifestyle intervention (BLI) is recommended as a first-line treatment for obesity. While BLI has been adapted for online delivery to improve potential for dissemination while reducing costs and barriers to access, weight losses are typically inferior to gold standard treatment delivered in-person. It is therefore important to refine and optimize online BLI in order to improve the proportion of individuals who achieve a minimum clinically significant weight loss and mean weight loss.

Study design

Five experimental intervention components will be tested as adjuncts to an established 12-month online BLI: virtual reality for BLI skills training, interactive video feedback, tailored intervention to promote physical activity, skills for dysregulated eating, a
