Health At Every Size and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy vs. Behavioral Weight Loss for Obesity and Depression in Women
April 24, 2018 updated by: Margit I. Berman, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
Health At Every Size and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy vs. Behavioral Weight Loss for Obesity and Depression in Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The primary aim of this project is to conduct a randomized controlled pilot study evaluating the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a newly developed combined Health At Every Size and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (HAES/ACT) treatment, known as Accept Yourself!
compared to a commercial behavioral weight loss program, Weight Watchers (WW).
Obese women (BMI ≥ 30) with Major Depressive Disorder will be randomly assigned to one of these two treatments.
Depression, physical health, and other psychosocial outcomes will be assessed prior to treatment, at post-treatment, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12-month follow up assessments.
