Detailed Description
Although behavioural weight loss programs (BWLP) are typically the first line of treatment for obesity, they are often plagued by high attrition rates and poor adherence. Studies evaluating the benefit of adding motivational interviewing (MI) to BWLPs have yielded mixed findings. The main purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the efficacy of adding MI to a BWLP on weight loss and adherence outcomes among 135 overweight and obese individuals enrolled in a 12-week (24 session) BWLP.
This study used a randomized, controlled, longitudinal, between-subjects design to investigate the effects of a two-session MI intervention on weight loss in participants enrolled in a BWLP. Patients received either two 45-60 minute MI interventions or two 45-60 minute attention control interviews. The control group interview consisted of questions ascertaining weight history, diet history, dietary awareness and physical activity. Questions for the control group focused primarily on assessment of past behaviour whereas questions for the MI group focused on enhancing motivation by exploring and resolving ambivalence. Weight was measured at baseline, end of the BWLP, and 6 months following BWLP completion. Program adherence (measured as number of BWLP sessions attended out of 24) was assessed as a secondary dependent measure. Importance, readiness, and confidence for weight change were assessed at baseline and then immediately following each interview (either MI or control). In addition, several other secondary outcome measures were assessed at baseline, end of the BWLP, 1 month follow-up, and 6 month follow-up.
Research personnel informed all BWLP participants about the study at the initial BWLP group intake assessments, which occurred just prior to the commencement of the formal BWLP. Individuals who expressed interest in participating were contacted by phone by a research assistant and screened for eligibility. If eligible, an appointment was made for the first MI/control session which was scheduled within the first two weeks of the BWLP. Randomization occurred immediately prior to this interview. Participants were then contacted during the 10th week of the BWLP to schedule a second MI/control session, which occurred approximately during the 12th week of the program. Participants were all contacted several weeks following program completion to schedule the one-month follow-up assessment. Finally, all participants were contacted approximately five months following program completion in order to schedule the six-month follow-up assessment.
Sessions were tape recorded for all participants for quality assurance purposes. A subset of tapes were used to assess for treatment integrity.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Motivational Interviewing
Two 45-60 minute motivational interviewing sessions focusing on exploring and resolving ambivalence towards change.
|
The semi-structured MI protocol was a 45-60 minute intervention based on general MI principles and guidelines, MI strategies specific to health care practice, and MI principles for obesity treatment.
The MI protocol included the following components: (1) eliciting concerns about weight; (2) exploring ambivalence; (3) assessing importance and confidence for change; (4) writing a decisional balance; (5) bolstering self-efficacy; (6) looking towards the future; and (8) eliciting ideas for possible changes participant could make to work towards weight loss.
Although there was slight variation, the protocol for both MI sessions consisted of similar components.
|
Active Comparator: Attention Control
Two 45-60 minute semi-structured interviews, acting as a pseudo-intervention, ascertaining information relevant to health history, weight history, diet history, as well as dietary and physical activity habits.
|
The attention control interview was a semi-structured interview ascertaining information relevant to health history, weight history, diet history, dietary and physical activity habits.
The majority of questions for the control interviews were drawn from the Behavioural Weight Loss Program intake application.
It was designed to be structurally equivalent to the MI session in terms of length of session, timing of sessions, and treatment modality.
The goal of the attention-control interview was to provide a pseudo-intervention that controlled for factors common to attending treatment (e.g., attending treatment sessions, having personal contact with a therapist, discussing weight-related issues).

Participants were asked to report the frequency and duration of physical activity in the past week.
Participants report the frequency and duration of physical activity in the past week.
Scoring yields energy expenditure from physical activity per week (kcal/kg/week).
Higher scores translate into greater energy expenditure per week (i.e.,better outcome).
Range is 0 - no theoretical maximum.
Highest observed score in our study was 10902 kcal/kg/week.

Responses are scored on a 4-point scale (usually, often, sometimes, rarely/never).
Range of overall summary score is 1 - 4. Higher scores correspond to higher fat intakes (i.e., higher scores = worse outcome).

This self-report questionnaire assesses the presence and degree of specific psychopathology associated with eating disorders over the previous 28 days.
Consists of a global score as well as four subscales: Eating Concern, Restraint, Shape Concern, and Weight Concern.
The global score is obtained by summing the subscale scores and then dividing this sum by the number of subscales (i.e.
four).
Range is 0 - 6. Higher scores are indicative of greater eating disorder symptomatology (i.e., worse outcome).

Time Frame: Mean self-efficacy related to eating patterns measured immediately after the first MI or attention control interview (week 1 to 2)
|
Self-efficacy related to eating patterns was measured by the Weight Efficacy Life-Style Questionnaire (WEL; Clark, Abrams, Niaura, Eaton, & Rossi, 1991).
This self-report questionnaire yields five subscale scores, which rate self-efficacy for controlling eating in different situations/dimensions: negative emotions, availability, social pressure, physical discomfort, and positive activities.
A global/total score (which ranges from 0 - 180) is obtained by summing the scores of each of the five subscales.
Higher scores are indicative of greater self-efficacy (i.e., higher scores = better outcome).

Importance of Change Ratings After the First Motivational Interview or Attention Control Interview, Week 1 - 2
Time Frame: Importance of change ratings measured immediately after the first MI or attention control interview (week 1- 2)
|
Self-report ratings of "importance of change" after the first motivational interview or attention control interview, on 11-point visual analogue scales (Miller & Rollnick, 2002).
For the visual analogue scales, participants were asked to rate how important it is for them personally to lose weight on a scale from 0 "not important" to 10 was "very important".
Thus lower scores reflect lower levels of importance for change, and higher scores reflect higher levels of importance for change.
