Summary
This study tested a weight management program called MOVE!+UP, designed specifically for veterans with PTSD who are overweight or obese. The program adds extra support to standard PTSD care to help overcome barriers like stress and unhealthy habits. Researchers compared it to the standard VA weight program in 174 veterans to see if it leads to greater weight loss and improved PTSD symptoms.
