Summary

The main objective for this project is to identify effective methods of treating obesity in at-risk populations. The investigators will be comparing weight loss from usual care, in person, and video conference weight loss programs. The investigators will follow 210 participants for 12 months to see if they lose and maintain 2kg of weight. The investigators will also compare the costs of video conference versus in person administered programs.

Potentially eligible participants will be identified based on data in the Regenstrief Medical Records System or by referral from the Wishard HealthyMe weight loss program staff or a Wishard Community Health Center (CHC) primary care provider. The PBRN staff will carry-out initial recruitment. Following consent, a baseline assessment will be performed and each participant will be randomized into one of three groups: usual care control, in person weight loss or online video conference weight loss. At 6 and 12 months a follow up assessment will be performed and compared to measures from the investigators baseline assessment. Total costs for each program will be compared as well.

The weight loss interventions involve group meetings two times per week where education, exercise, and social support are provided. Participants will also receive a detailed education booklet. Those randomized to the in-person group will meet in the CHC and those in the video-conference group will meet online in a multi-party video-conference. All participants will receive usual CHC care.
