Following Up Nonrespondents in an Online Weight Management Intervention
Severe attrition was experienced in a recent web-based RCT of a tailored versus standard weight management program. Only 21% of the original participants completed the 6-month and 15% the 12-month follow-up surveys online. In order to explore both the causes of the drop-out and possible effects on the results of the trial, we conducted a follow-up study of a sample of the nonrespondents, using both mail and telephone modes. We report on the preliminary results of this work.
