About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial pilot is to determine the feasibility of an intervention to enhance weight management in patients who have stopped taking anti-obesity/weight management medications in primary care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can patients be recruited into the study efficiently? * Is the program acceptable to patients? * Can the study be conducted efficiently?
The new program will be compared to usual care.

For randomization: discontinue their prescribed anti-obesity medication.

PRISM Program
BehavioralThis is a novel, remotely delivered, self-tailored intervention for post-anti-obesity medication discontinuation weight management. The program incorporates standard-of-care behavioral intervention strategies for weight control to improve routine self-weighing, dietary self-monitoring, and increasing physical activity. The program includes an enhanced focus on strategies to reduce food cue reactivity. The program includes six monthly one-on-one sessions between study staff and participants, asynchronous online check-ins weekly for 12 weeks, and bi-weekly for 12 weeks.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Recruitment rate
The recruitment rate will be defined as the number of participants randomized into the clinical trial per month.
Acceptability of the Intervention
Self-reported Likert scale items will assess the overall satisfaction with the program, the likelihood participants would recommend the program to others, and their satisfaction with individual treatment components (e.g., the online check-ins).
Secondary outcomes
Medication adherence duration questions
A published measure will be used to assess adherence throughout the run-in period. These questions will be asked bi-weekly to assess adherence with minimal participant burden.
Reasons for Discontinuation questions
A published measure will be used to assess reasons for discontinuation throughout the run-in period. These items will be asked only if participants indicate nonadherence.
Other outcomes
Recruitment efficiency
Recruitment efficiency will be defined as the days between the participant's last AOM dose and the date of randomization into the trial.
Retention to the study
Retention to the study will be defined as an observed weight assessed during the 6-month assessment period.
Intervention adherence
Intervention adherence will be defined as the number of one-on-one intervention sessions completed (out of 6 possible) and the number of online check-ins completed (out of 16).
Percent weight change
Weight data for outcome assessments (0, 3, and 6 months) will be collected remotely.
