Summary

This trial will improve management of obesity, improve outcomes among people with obesity, implement a combined intervention across multiple settings and a diverse cross-section of patients and providers, and create an implementation guide to aid others in similar efforts.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 20 who have a healthcare provider at Brigham and Women's Hospital, speak English or Spanish, can access the internet weekly, and are overweight or obese. It's not for those in hospice care, had recent weight loss surgery, are pregnant, or have certain serious medical conditions.

What is being tested?

The study tests an online weight management program combined with coaching and patient navigator support to improve obesity outcomes. The intervention will be adapted across various settings involving diverse patients from BWH to see how well it works.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a non-drug intervention focusing on lifestyle changes through an online platform with professional support, typical medication side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or frustration related to behavior change.
