Energy balance
The standard on-site, group-based behavioral weight loss intervention (SBWL) resulted in a significant weight loss of -5.6 ± 2.9 kg.
Practitioners can expect significant weight loss outcomes from standard group-based interventions.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Significant weight loss was demonstrated for intention-to-treat (SBWL: -5.6 ± 2.9 kg; CI: -3.1 ± 3.4 kg).
Why this rating
Based on the study design as a pilot feasibility study comparing two interventions.
