Outcomes of an RCT of videoconference vs. in‐person or in‐clinic nutrition and exercise in midlife adults with obesity

New communication technologies have shown some promise in lifestyle weight loss interventions but may be most effective when leveraging face‐to‐face communications. The study reported here sought to test whether weight loss programme attendance and outcomes are greater when offered in‐person at community sites or remotely via videoconference vs. in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). In a three‐arm randomized trial among 150 FQHC adults, intervention delivery in community‐sites or via videoconference was tested against a clinic‐based lifestyle intervention (enhanced usual care [EUC])
