BEHAVIORAL

Team Care Model

Local primary care providers receive training in medical management of obesity prior to the start of the participant intervention. Participants receive an intensive 18-month group lifestyle intervention (30 total sessions) led by a study lifestyle coach via Zoom, and 6 quarterly 1:1 visits via Zoom with their lifestyle coach. Participants also receive 6 quarterly clinic visits with their local primary care provider; the study lifestyle coach joins the visits via telemedicine. All three parties may meet via telemedicine if needed. The group lifestyle intervention is led by obesity treatment specialists with relevant graduate training and experience.
