Adherence
Online behavioral obesity treatment programs achieve higher implementation success in primary care when they are perceived as having high design quality, low cost, and strong compatibility with clinical workflows.
For primary care clinics adopting online weight loss tools, prioritize programs with clean, intuitive interfaces and zero cost to the provider. Ensure the tool fits seamlessly into existing workflows to avoid being deprioritized due to time constraints.
Individuals in the Enhanced condition viewed two aspects of the intervention as more positively influencing than Basic NCMs: Design Quality & Packaging (i.e., online program aesthetics), and Cost (i.e., no-cost program, clinician time savings).
Why this rating
Based on qualitative formative evaluation with 14 stakeholders across 60 clinics; strong internal validity for implementation factors.
