About this study

Official title: Management of Antipsychotic Medication Associated Obesity - 2

This program aims to help Veterans who take antipsychotic medications lose weight. We use a program based on the American Diabetes Association's "Diabetes Prevention Program," and we have modified it to fit the lifestyles of people with mental illness. All participants are educated about nutrition and cutting down fat intake, how and when to exercise, and the causes of diabetes and how to prevent it. Participants must be Veterans who live within one hour of the Long Beach, West Los Angeles, Sepulveda, or West Los Angeles VA hospitals.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lifestyle BalanceBehavioural

    Also called Lifestyle Balance Program

    Patients assigned to the behavioral weight loss program (Lifestyle Balance Program) will do the following: -Meet with their psychiatrist and a nutritionist who will go over diet recommendations with the patient - Be given a 7% weight loss goal - Be assisted in obtaining a 500 calorie reduction per day -Exercise for at least 30 min/day, at least 5 days a week - Maintain weekly food and exercise diaries -Be quizzed on their knowledge of healthy eating habits and nutrition

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Weight Change Per Week From Baseline to Termination

    Participants' weight was measured at each visit by study personnel using hospital scales, and the study groups' average weight changes per week were compared.

    Measured: Up to 19 observations per person, weekly for the first 2 months, then monthly for 10 months.

  2. Mean Waist Circumference Change Per Week From Baseline to Termination

    Participants' waist circumference was measured at each visit by study personnel using a measuring tape, and the study groups' average waist circumference changes per week were compared.

    Measured: Up to 19 observations per person, weekly for the first 2 months, then monthly for 10 months.

  3. Mean Body Mass Index (BMI) Change Per Week From Baseline to Termination

    Study personnel calculated each participant's BMI at each visit using their weight measurement taken at that visit and their height measurement taken at baseline. The study groups' average BMI changes per week were then compared.

    Measured: Up to 19 observations per person, weekly for the first 2 months, then monthly for 10 months.

  4. Mean Serum Insulin Level Change Per Week From Baseline to Termination

    Results obtained through VA facility's Outpatient Lab. The study groups' average serum level changes per week were then compared.

    Measured: Up to 4 observations per person, at baseline, 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

  17. Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Mean Total Score Change Per Week From Baseline to Termination

    Clinician-assessed symptom survey, score range 18 - 126, best to worst. The study groups' average score changes per week were then compared.
