JA Discussion:
Evaluation Plan: Evaluating the Changes to Clinical Practice
Goal: The main goal of this research project is to find out which intervention works better, for both, acute weight loss and long term weight loss maintenance in a primary care clinic setting. The two interventions being researched are pharmacological or nonpharmacological approach, along with a controlled diet and exercise plan. This research is evidence based with an aim to help develop an appropriate intervention for overweight and obese people. This evidence based research will demonstrate which intervention is more productive. Implementing an evidence based practice in a clinical setting will encourage patients to achieve acute weight loss and long term weight loss maintenance.
Objectives
Objective: to implement and assess if acute weight loss and long term weight loss maintenance can be achieved through using a pharmacological intervention such as, Phentermine, along with a controlled diet and exercise plan.
Objective: to implement and assess if acute weight loss and long term weight loss maintenance can be achieved through nonpharmacological interventions such as, a controlled diet and exercise plan only.
Objective: to create a viable acute weight loss and long term weight loss maintenance program to help patient reduce their weight and risk factors for other health disease (OMERAD, 2021).
Description: This weight loss improvement project will take place in a primary care setting. Participants will be separated in to two groups, one that will take Phentermine, eat a controlled diet and exercise, and a second that will only eat a controlled diet and exercise. The participants will require a weekly weigh-in and status update, and blood work every three months. The research will take place over a 12 months period. Participants will be encouraged to keep track of their food intake, minutes of daily exercise, and blood pressure.
