Evaluation of intervention components to maximize outcomes of behavioral obesity treatment delivered online: A factorial experiment following the multiphase optimization strategy framework

Behavioral lifestyle intervention (BLI) is recommended as a first-line treatment for obesity. While BLI has been adapted for online delivery to improve potential for dissemination while reducing costs and barriers to access, weight losses are typically inferior to gold standard treatment delivered in-person. It is therefore important to refine and optimize online BLI in order to improve the proportion of individuals who achieve a minimum clinically significant weight loss and mean weight loss.
