Summary:
In adults with obesity recruited from a weight management center, the Confident Moves (CM) online intervention significantly improved physical activity engagement and self-efficacy compared to usual care including existing center-based supports like meal plans and medications, though it was associated with some procedural variability in secondary feasibility measures.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults with obesity enrolled in a local obesity care center in the United States. |
| Intervention | Confident Moves (CM) online intervention, a theory-based digital program utilizing behavior change techniques to enhance self-efficacy and promote physical activity. |
| Comparison | Usual care provided by the obesity clinic, such as meal planning, behavioral counseling, and pharmacotherapy (e.g., appetite suppressants). |
| Outcome | The CM intervention demonstrated strong feasibility, high engagement, and a promising preliminary effect size on objectively measured physical activity. Mixed results were observed for secondary feasibility outcomes, indicating areas for procedural refinement before a full-scale RCT. |
