NCT ID NCT06892587
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares an 8-week virtual group program called the Healthy YOU Program to standard weekly email tips for overweight adults. Researchers want to see if the program helps people eat better, move more, and keep those changes for at least 3 months. They will also look at what factors help people stick with healthy behaviors long-term.
