NCT ID NCT06206954
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a brief, personalized online tool (MyHealthPath) can increase the number of adults with obesity who start a comprehensive behavioral weight loss program. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the tailored tool or informational material. The main goal is to see if the tool leads to more people attending at least one treatment session and how many sessions they attend overall.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MyHealthPath Tool (a tailored, brief online tool) and MyHealthPath Guide (informational material)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this tool could help more people with obesity begin and stick with evidence-based weight loss programs, potentially improving long-term health outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- The intervention is behavioral and brief, so its impact may be modest. The study relies on self-reported weight and attendance, which could limit accuracy. Success depends on patient engagement and follow-through.
