Abstract:
The authors report here the first controlled clinical trial of treatment for obesity at the work site. The study was designed to assess the feasibility of work-site treatment for obesity, and compare the effectiveness of various treatment conditions: work site versus medical site, lay therapist versus professional therapist, and frequent versus conventional (once weekly) treatment. They found that work-site treatment for obesity is feasible and that lay therapists are at least as effective as professional therapists.
