Development of a Web-Based, Guided Self-help, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy–Based Intervention for Weight Loss Maintenance: Evidence-, Theory-, and Person-Based Approach
Overview
This paper outlines the development of SWiM, a web-based, guided self-help intervention for weight loss maintenance grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The authors describe using an evidence-, theory-, and person-based approach to design the digital tool, aiming to improve scalability by utilizing nonspecialist guidance. The resource details the methodological phases, including literature reviews, qualitative interviews, and iterative user testing, intended for researchers and clinicians interested in intervention design.
