“…Involving natural support resources in intervention programs is valued by patients and increases program effectiveness, but negative consequences are also reported (Hagen, 1974;Tattersall et al, 1985;Black et al, 1990;Hart et al, 1990;Parham, 1993;Burke et al, 1999). Bringing new sources of support such as peers into action may be helpful when social support from patients' natural networks is insufficient (Helgeson & Gottlieb, 2000).…”

“…On the other hand, the process of behavior therapy has a mechanical structure that could be compiled in a manual. Utilizing the advantage of the feature, several structured methods have been researched since the 1970s [3,4]. Recently, the effects of the intervention using computer technologies have also been reported [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Only three of the 11 studies that reported patient outcomes had suf®cient patient follow-up (of at least 80%). 26,27,31 Blind outcome assessment was carried out in three of the studies, 20,22,27 the others were either not clear (six studies) or not done (three). 21,24,25 It was clear that there were no substantial baseline differences in only ®ve studies 25 ± 29 in a further two there were no baseline differences for some of the reported outcome measures, 20,21 in the other ®ve studies it was not possible to tell.…”

“…26 ± 31 . Hagen 26 compared a 10 week home correspondent programme delivered by mail to two face to face groups (one of which also included a relaxation component and therefore was not included in the comparison as the content of the intervention was different to the mailed group) (N 18 per group). Although this study had adequate follow-up, it was still of short duration (11 weeks intervention and four weeks follow-up) and of generally unclear quality.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine the existence and effectiveness of interventions to improve health professionals' management of obesity or the organisation of care for overweight and obese people. DESIGN: A systematic review of intervention studies, undertaken according to standard methods developed by the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group. 1 PARTICIPANTS: Trained health care professionals and overweight and obese patients. MEASUREMENTS: Objective measures of health professionals' practice and behaviours, and patient outcomes including satisfaction, behaviour, psychological factors, disease status, risk factors, and measures of body weight, fat, or BMI. RESULTS: Twelve studies that met all the review inclusion criteria were identi®ed. Three were randomised controlled trials of health professional-oriented interventions (such as the use of reminders and training) and one was a controlled before and after study to improve collaboration between a hospital clinic and GPs. A further eight randomised controlled trials were identi®ed of interventions comparing either the deliverer of weight loss interventions or the setting of the delivery of the intervention. The heterogeneity and generally limited quality of identi®ed studies make it dif®cult to provide recommendations for improving health professionals' obesity management. CONCLUSIONS: At present, decisions about improving the provision of services for overweight and obese people must be based on the evidence from patient interventions and good clinical judgement. Future research is required to identify cost-effective strategies for improving health professionals' management and the organisation of care for overweight and obese people.A full version of this review, including detailed descriptions of the included studies and data tables, is available in the Cochrane Library.2 The Cochrane Library is a database of systematic review and other evidence on the effects of health care, available on CD ROM from Update Software.
