Summary
The purpose of the Small Changes in PsA study is to develop and test a small-changes behavioural weight loss approach for patients with PsA and obesity. This two-part study consists of (1) a qualitative investigation to explore barriers and facilitators to behavioural weight loss treatment among patients with PsA and obesity, and (2) a randomized controlled trial to test whether patients who participate in the behavioural weight loss program are more likely to lose weight compared with those who receive treatment as usual from their community rheumatology clinic.\n\nRecruitment for Part I is currently underway. This study is being done in collaboration with our principle investigator, Dr. Michelle Teo and co-investigator Dr. Lesley Lutes.
