Weight management for adults with mobility related disabilities: Rationale and design for an 18-month randomized trial
Adults with mobility related disabilities (MRDs) represent an underserved group with a high prevalence of overweight/obesity and limited options for weight management. We previously demonstrated clinically meaningful 12-month weight loss in adults with MRDs ( −6.2%, 36% ≥5% of baseline weight) using an enhanced Stop Light Diet (eSLD) delivered using at home face-to-face behavioral sessions and optional physical activity. However, the costs/logistics associated with intervention delivery by individual home visits limits the potential for scaling and i mplementation of this approach.
