The Trevose Behavior Modification Program effectively supports long-term obesity management. This self-help model with continuing care demonstrated significant, replicable weight loss across multiple settings.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Obesity Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The Trevose Behavior Modification Program has shown success in long-term obesity treatment.
  • Self-help groups combined with continuing care represent a promising approach for weight management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate the effectiveness of the Trevose Behavior Modification Program in satellite settings.
  • To assess long-term weight loss and attrition rates in a broader participant group.

Main Methods:

  • 128 participants were enrolled in three satellite Trevose program groups.
  • Standardized treatment procedures and manual from the central group were utilized.
  • Weight loss and attrition rates were tracked over five years.

Main Results:

  • Satellite groups achieved results comparable to the central Trevose group.
  • Mean intent-to-treat weight loss was 13.7% of initial body weight.
  • At five years, 23.4% of participants remained, with an average weight loss of 18.4%.

Conclusions:

  • The Trevose model of weight control is replicable and effective in diverse settings.
  • The self-help and continuing care approach has significant public health implications for obesity management.
  • Dissemination of this model can lead to sustained weight loss in the population.
