Summary

This study tests a program called TOTAL that uses an educational video and three telemedicine calls to encourage veterans with obesity to start weight loss treatments like the MOVE! program, medications, or surgery. About 440 veterans will take part. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach increases treatment use and leads to weight loss.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
educational video and motivational telemedicine calls
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help more veterans access and benefit from existing weight loss programs like MOVE! and obesity medications.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Success depends on participants' engagement, and results may not apply to non-veterans.
