Brief Summary
CDC WAY to Health is a three year, group-randomized weight loss intervention study where approximately 1020 overweight/obese employees nested within 17 community colleges are randomly assigned to receive one of three promising, state-of-the-art, theory-linked interventions: Environment/Usual Care (E); Web-based Weight Loss Program + Environment (WEB+E) or Web + Environment +Incentives (WEB+E+I). College is the unit of randomization and intervention; employee is the unit of analysis. Follow-up weigh-in assessments are conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months.
