Summary

The aim of this research is to undertake a feasibility study to assess uptake and impact of providing access to a widely available weight management and wellness program (WW; formerly known as Weight Watchers) among individuals experiencing food insecurity and overweight/obesity, who are eligible to receive weekly produce at the Mid-Ohio Food Collective (MOFC) through their pre-existing enrollment in the Mid-Ohio Farmacy program. Participants (n=90) adults over the age of 18 with a BMI between 27-50 kg/m2 will be recruited for a 6 month single-arm clinical trial, where participants will be provided with WW Unlimited Workshop + Digital. The primary objective is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a commercial weight loss and wellness program with an established produce prescription program among individuals experiencing food insecurity and overweight/obesity. Secondary outcomes will include assessments related to weight, height, blood pressure, dietary intake, physical activity, food access, depression, wellbeing and economic factors. This feasibility study will help inform future interventions among this population. More specifically, this study will help answer questions about the feasibility and acceptability of such an intervention, adherence to the WW program as described to the participant, and the impact that access to a free weight management and wellness program can have on health-related outcomes among individuals experiencing food insecurity and overweight/obesity.
