Clinical Trial Summary

This research is to expand a virtual weight loss and weight maintenance program to rural counties of Illinois. The program uses dietary and lifestyle modifications for adults with obesity. The EMPOWER weight loss program has proven to be effective in 3 previous trials. In this research, we target a rural participant population. Individuals in rural locations are more likely to be affected by obesity and have unique barriers to weight loss related to geographic isolation including access to health care, preventative care, grocery stores, social networks, internet, and cell service.


Clinical Trial Description

EMPOWER is a remote weight management program that uses an online textbook platform, E-Text, and mobile web application, MealPlot. This pilot study will test for feasibility of the EMPOWER program in a rural population prior to launching a full-scale study. Acceptability measurements will be applied at 3 months to evaluate for needed changes; Participants of the pilot study will be permitted to continue on with the full program. EMPOWER is a two-year program: 1-year intervention, 1-year follow up. Data is collected via 24-hour record and daily weighing using a Wi-Fi-enabled scale. 24-hour records and daily weights are collected within the program's proprietary MealPlot website. EMPOWER consists of 19 online sessions (45 minutes/each) and 3 individual advising sessions with a nutrition coach. ;
