Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this study is to determine whether shared medical visits also called "group visits" would be beneficial for patients who are under weight management care. As part of this study, participants will be asked to complete a survey to give the study team a better idea of their current health conditions and if this study will be good fit for them. Once the survey has been completed, participants will then be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group one will include participation in shared medical visits over a period of eight weeks. In addition to the medical visits, this group will also include two cooking classes. Group two will be asked to complete online Full Living Plate modules. Participants will be asked to complete another survey at the end of the study.
