Official title
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Digital Mindfulness-Based Nutrition Group Intervention During Pharmacological Treatment for Weight Reduction
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a digitally delivered, mindfulness-based nutrition group program for adults with obesity who are taking GLP-1 receptor agonist medication and receiving usual medical care, including dietetic counselling. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can this online group program be successfully delivered to adults receiving GLP-1 treatment? Do participants find the program useful, acceptable, and easy to engage with? Are participants willing to attend the online sessions, complete the home exercises, and complete the study questionnaires? Researchers will compare participants who receive the online mindfulness-based nutrition group program in addition to usual care with participants who receive usual care alone. Participants in the intervention group will take part in a 16-week online program consisting of nine live group sessions delivered via videoconference. They will practice mindful eating, mindfulness exercises, reflective journaling, and peer discussion. All participants will complete online questionnaires and body measurements at baseline, after 16 weeks, and 12 months after the start of the study. This study does not evaluate a new drug or medical device. The study team will not make decisions regarding participants' GLP-1 medication. All medication management remains part of routine medical care.
Detailed description
This is a pilot, randomized, controlled, open-label, two-arm feasibility trial evaluating a digitally delivered mindfulness-based nutrition group program as an adjunct to standard care in adults with obesity receiving incretin-based pharmacotherapy for weight loss. The trial aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study procedures and to generate preliminary data to inform the design of a future fully powered randomized controlled trial.
Interventions
- Behavioral Online Group Intervention on Mindful Eating
