Technology-Assisted Weight Management Intervention Within Patient-Centered Medical Homes: The GEM (Goals for Eating and Moving) Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating GEM and Enhanced Usual Care for Weight Gain and Obesity. Completed, enrolled 489 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The GEM intervention leverages the patient-centered medical home model by using the GEM tool to provide individually tailored, patient-centered care, promote standardized weight management counseling by health coaches and primary team members, coordinate care between teams and other weight management service providers/programs (e.g., dietitians, health educators, DPP), and provide feedback to the provider and primary care team about patients' weight management-related goals, progress, and care.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Online program designed to support health coach and primary care team counseling. It assesses current behaviors, barriers, and facilitators to weight loss via a 16-item questionnaire, provides tailored advice, and guides patients to set weight loss (5-10%), diet, and physical activity (PA) goals. After completing the tool, participants will meet with a Health Coach. Participants will receive 12 telephone coaching calls by a health coach over 12 months.
Patients in the EUC arm will receive non-tailored weight management handouts. Patients will follow-up with their primary care teams as needed.
