About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether choosing a weight management plan called AVOID or RESIST helps people stick with it better than being assigned a plan. It is for adults with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 45.

This trials will formally test whether participants' active choice of self-regulatory strategies (AVOID or RESIST) leads to greater adherence to weight management strategies by comparing the CHOICE arms to the randomized arms of the parent intervention, AVOID/RESIST (IRB STUDY00001652: AVOID-RESIST).

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
