About the study

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether people who participate in MiWeigh lose more weight than people who receive information about weight loss strategies and programs. The researchers also want to learn what parts of the program do and do not work and why. If the program is effective, the researchers want to learn how other health care systems could offer this program.

The overarching aim of the MiWeigh Study is to better help patients prevent, manage, or reverse obesity-related chronic conditions.
