Can a buddy system beat the scale? study tests peer coaches for weight loss
NCT ID NCT02959021
Summary
This study tested whether having a peer coach helps people lose more weight than trying to manage weight on their own. It involved 375 adults with obesity who were patients at primary care clinics in the Southeast. Researchers compared a structured program with regular support from trained peer coaches to a self-directed approach without that support.
