ADAPT Study

29 Nov ADAPT Study

ADAPT study hopes to learn if body and brain changes can predict why weight loss stops. This study requires in-person and remote visits over 18 months at UW South Lake Union and Fred Hutchinson.

1. Screening visit in-person: ~2 hours at UW SLU
*remote tasks leading up to enrollment over 7 days before Baseline visit
2. Baseline visit day 1: ~6 hours at UW SLU
3. Baseline visit day 2: ~2 hours at Fred Hutchinson
*remote assessments about 6-7 times over 18-months
Payment up to $300

Some participants may be invited to have additional visits. The visits are similar to Baseline day 1 and 2. Up to $250 of additional payment will be given for these visits.

Study procedures: blood draws, MRIs, DXA scan, dietary intake evaluation, questionnaires and eating a snack. At Fred Hutchinson participants will have muscle and fat tissue biopsy and indirect calorimetry (breathing test).

You will also participate in a 24-week group weight loss program by videoconference with Fred Hutchinson staff. Most people lose between 5-10% of their body weight in a similar program.
