It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Area of Science:

  • Health promotion
  • Behavioral science
  • Veteran health

Background:

  • The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) implemented the MOVE! weight-management program to address veteran obesity.
  • The study aimed to assess peer support using motivational interviewing (MI) to enhance the MOVE! program's reach and effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a peer counselor training program using MI for veterans in the MOVE! program.
  • To determine if peer support can positively influence lifestyle changes.

Main Methods:

  • A peer counselor training program, the "Buddies" program, was developed for volunteer veterans.
  • Training involved MI skills via DVD and booster sessions, with recruitment at 5 VHA sites.
  • Feasibility was assessed through training observation, pre- and post-training surveys, and focus group debriefings.

Main Results:

  • Fifty-six peer counselors (

Conclusions:

  • Motivational interviewing training is feasible and acceptable for volunteer veteran peer counselors.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of MI skill acquisition is crucial for successful health promotion.
