Feasibility of behavioral weight loss treatment enhanced with peer support and mobile health technology for individuals with serious mental illness.
This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a behavioral weight loss intervention enhanced with peer support and mobile health (mHealth) technology for obese individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). Feasibility was assessed by program attendance, and participant satisfaction and suggestions for improving the model. It found that overall attendance amounted to approximately half of weekly sessions, with participants suggesting a number of modifications.

A pilot study of a peer-group lifestyle intervention enhanced with mHealth technology and social media for adults with serious mental illness.
This pilot study of 32 participants examined the preliminary effectiveness of a peer-group lifestyle intervention enhanced with mobile health technology and social media for obese individuals with serious mental illness. Most participants (72%) lost weight, and 17% showed clinically significant improvements in cardiovascular fitness. This study demonstrated the preliminary effectiveness of peer-group lifestyle intervention in a community mental health setting.

Effects of proximity to supermarkets on a randomized trial studying interventions for obesity.
To determine whether proximity to a supermarket modified the effects of an obesity intervention, the researchers examined distance to the closest supermarket as an effect modifier.They concluded that living closer to a supermarket is associated with greater improvements in fruit and vegetable intake and weight status in an obesity intervention.
