Lessons Learned From Transition of an In-Person to a Virtual Randomized Controlled Trial for Weight and Fitness Concerns in Active-Duty Service Members: Survey Study
Overview
This survey study examines the logistical transition of a weight management randomized controlled trial for active-duty service members from in-person to virtual delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. It compares participant demographics, motivation, satisfaction, and engagement metrics between 149 in-person and 29 virtual participants enrolled in the ShipShape program. The resource details how technological modifications maintained comparable credibility and attendance rates across both formats.
