“…</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong> The primary aim was to produce evidence of whether or not a Phase III trial of a brief weight management intervention, in which postnatal women are encouraged by practice nurses as part of the national child immunisation programme to self-monitor their weight and use an online weight management programme, is feasible and acceptable.…”

Screening and brief intervention for obesity in primary care: a parallel, two-arm, randomised trial by Aveyard, P, Lewis, A, Tearne, S, Hood, K, Christian-Brown, A, Adab, P, Begh, R, Jolly, K, Daley, A, Farley, A, Lycett, D, Nickless, A, Yu, L, Retat, L, Webber, L, Pimpin, L, Jebb, S

Screening and brief intervention for obesity in primary care: cost-effectiveness analysis in the BWeL trial by Retat, L, Pimpin, L, Webber, L, Jaccard, A, Lewis, A, Tearne, S, Hood, K, Christian-Brown, A, Adab, P, Begh, R, Jolly, K, Daley, A, Farley, A, Lycett, D, Nickless, A, Yu, L-M, Jebb, S, Aveyard, P

“…<strong>Conclusions</strong> A brief intervention in which physicians opportunistically endorse, offer, and facilitate a referral to a behavioural weight management service to patients with a BMI of at least 30 kg/m2 reduces healthcare costs and improves health more than advising weight loss.…”
