Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Perceived Competence Scale (PCS) Score

  The Perceived Competence Scale (PCS) will be the open-access validated tool used for this project. This will be the 4 questions pretest/posttest utilized. A 1-hour education session will provide training on the use of a DSM calorie-tracking app. Following this will be an 8-week in-person weight management program focusing on a daily calorie and carb restriction and protein goal. Each item is scored from 1 to 4, where a score of 1 indicates low perceived competence and a score of 4 reflects high perceived competence. Scores are summed and then averaged for each subscale, resulting in four separate subscale means.
