Is MyPlate.Gov Approach to Helping Overweight Patients Lose Weight More Patient-centered?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Investigators from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and The Children's Clinic of Long Beach (TCC) are conducting a randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial of two government-sanctioned behavior change approaches to weight control with TCC's obese patients. The first approach is the calorie-counting calorie restriction (CC) approach used in the Diabetes Prevention Program. The second approach is the high-satiation/high-satiety approach represented by MyPlate.gov. The MyPlate nutritional goal is to double patient fruit and vegetable intake, legume intake, and whole grain intake. Both conditions stipulate 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week. Study participants will be 300 of TCC's obese patients, 76% of whom are expected to be Latino, 13% African American and 11% Other Ethnicities. The interventions will be implemented by trained community lifestyle change coaches with brief support from clinicians. The interventions will include two home visits, two group education sessions and seven telephone behavior change coaching sessions. Compared to the CC approach, the MyPlate approach is hypothesized to yield better 12 months patient-centered outcomes, particularly self-reported satiety.
