Study summary

There is a strong link between obesity and reduced quality of life as well as serious sequelae of diseases. Step by step is a treatment model that has been developed at the Obesity Unit, Orebro County Region and includes six group meetings over 6-8 months. The aim is to increase patients' knowledge about the disease obesity, to provide support for lifestyle changes and weight control, and to reduce stigma-related psychosocial disorders. A 1-year pilot study aimed at evaluating the Internet-based Step by Step treatment has recently been completed. Results after 6 months of treatment show that the participants who completed the treatment were mainly satisfied with the program and the content. However, the dropouts from the treatment were more than expected.
