Study Details
Understanding how to prevent regaining weight after weight loss for adults who are overweight
(IRB#: IRB_00166611)
We are doing interviews with generally healthy adults who are overweight now or have been in the past. The interviews will be 30 minutes long and ask many questions. Some of the questions will be about things that may cause a person to regain weight they had lost, and how to get additional help from a professional to support weight loss. The interview can be done in-person or on Zoom. People in this study will also need to have their height and weight measured at the University of Utah.
