Summary

This randomized trial tested the hypothesis that there would be an incremental benefit of personalized coaching and PCP support in an EHR-based intervention designed to help primary care patients maintain recent intentional weight loss of at least 5%.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria included age 18 to 75 years, body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or higher, intentional weight loss of at least 5% in the previous 2 years, access to an Internet-connected computer, and receipt of outpatient care from a UPMC PCP.
