Summary

This study will involve secondary data analysis for a study done by Wylie-Rosett et al. in 2001 that evaluated the costs and effects of incremental components of a weight-loss program. Data analysis will involve cross-sectional and predictive analyses and may include: regression analyses to determine predictors of weight loss and cardiovascular risk, correlations between weight reduction strategies and biological indices, and interactions between biomarkers of inflammation and traditional cardiovascular risk factors. This data will also be available for economic modeling.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Workbook

The workbook developed as a do-it-yourself program in which participants completed self-help sheets that guided them to sections of the workbook most salient to their needs.

BEHAVIORAL

Computer Intervention

The computer intervention was provided using a network system that included a file server plus 5 multimedia computers with touch screens. The expert software program was written to guide participants in using the workbook and tail behavioral goals based on their prior computer use and the answers they provided on baseline questionnaires. The three primary paths in the computer addressed nutrition, fitness, and psychobehavioral content.

BEHAVIORAL

Staff Consultation

The staff consultation component included 6 closed-group workshop sessions and up to 18 telephone or face-to-face consultations with a registered dietician and/or a cognitive behavioral therapist. The workshop curriculum focused on specific activities and assignments in the workbook, and it encouraged use of the computer to identify problems and issues.
