New program aims to get veterans with obesity into treatment
NCT ID NCT05346575
First seen Nov 01, 2025
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.
