NCT ID NCT07668661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether a therapeutic patient education program is acceptable and useful for adults living with obesity and related conditions like diabetes or joint problems. About 42 participants will take part in a one-day group session and follow-up workshops, then answer questionnaires and join focus groups over nine months. The goal is to see if people find the program helpful and if it improves their quality of life.
