Scientific title
Study objectivesTo see whether lifestyle behaviour changes (weight loss and increased physical activity) similar to those obtained in recent large Finnish and US studies can be achieved with a simplified lifestyle intervention in a UK primary care setting. The intervention will use motivational interviewing (a well established, patient-centered behaviour counselling technique), delivered by trained health promotion worker (not necessarily existing NHS staff).
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval added as of 16/07/2007:
North & East Devon Local Research Ethics Committee, approved in 2005 (ref: 05/Q2102/40)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes and heart disease
InterventionPlease note that the amendments to the target number of participants and participants - inclusion criteria (both amended as of 12/10/2007) reflect errors in information provided at time of registration, not changes in protocol.

Interventions added as of 16/07/2007:
1. Intervention group: Motivational interviews (patient-centered behaviour counseling) delivered by trained health promotion worker
2. Control group: Information leaflets offering advice on healthy eating and the benefits of increased physical activity
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureProportion of people achieving specific targets for weight change and physical activity which have been shown to be beneficial in previous studies.
Secondary outcome measuresSecondary outcome measures added as of 16/07/2007:
1. The proportion of participants achieving 150 min moderate activity per week
2. Waist circumference
3. Achievement of dietary composition targets (<30% energy from fat [<10% energy from saturated fat], 15 g / 1000 kcal fibre), if sufficient food diary data returned

Target number of participantsTarget number of participants amended as of 12/10/2007: 150 (141 participants were enrolled). Target number provided at time of registration: 420.
Key inclusion criteriaInclusion criteria amended as of 12/10/2007:
1. Patients with a recorded BMI of 28 or more in the last 10 years
2. Age of 18 or more
3. Participants must be able to engage in at least moderate physical activity (e.g. no significant joint problems)
4. Participation will be restricted to those speaking English fluently, as the intervention is based on communication, and many of the measures are specifically validated for English speakers

Inclusion criteria provided at time of registration:
Identification of potential participants will be by computer searching of GP practice databases by NHS staff employed at the practice (e.g. practice nurse, clerical staff). This will generate a list of patients with a recorded BMI of 30 or more in the last 10 years, and age of 30 or more. A random selection of 420 patients will be identified by applying random numbers generated by the principal researcher. This list will be checked by the patient's GP for exclusion criteria.
Participants must also be able to engage in at least moderate physical activity (e.g. no significant joint problems). Participation will be restricted to those speaking English fluently, as the intervention is based on communication, and many of the measures are specifically validated for English speakers. For pragmatic reasons it is not possible to pay for interpreters for this study, although this would be considered for a larger trial.
Key exclusion criteriaExisting diabetes or heart disease, or any other reason the GP thinks the patient is not suitable for the intervention (e.g. severe uncontrolled hypertension, dementia or mental illness preventing likely understanding of the intervention or of the research processes).
