Summary

This study is a 24-week, single-arm trial investigating the feasibility of a flipped classroom behavioral intervention for weight management. The investigators will recruit up to 30 adults ages 18+ with a body mass index greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2 to participate in weekly, 1-hour group weight management education delivered remotely via Zoom with a trained health educator. Participants will receive a dietary prescription of 1200-1500 calories/day (5 portion-controlled meals and 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables) and exercise prescription of 150-300 minutes exercise/week. Additionally, participants will be asked to self-monitor diet and exercise adherence weekly. Feasibility outcomes will be collected at baseline, 12-weeks, and 24-weeks.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Flipped Classroom	The flipped classroom educational model requires participants to independently review educational material before class, and class time with the health educator is spent engaging in group and individual skills-based activities and problem-solving assignments. The theoretical basis for the development of active learning is to elicit higher cognitive learning, according to the revised Bloom's taxonomy and shift independent student time to passive learning (remembering and understanding) and collaborative student and educator time to active learning (applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating). Thus, the weight management education will include: case vignettes, group debates/discussions, think-pair-share activities, gamification of health-related topics, creation of meal and physical activity, problem-solving barriers to a healthy diet and physical activity, and hands-on worksheets.
