The transition to college has been identified as a critical period for increases in overweight status. Overweight college students are at-risk of becoming obese adults, and, thus prevention efforts targeting college age individuals are key to reducing adult obesity rates. The current study evaluated an Internet intervention with first year college students (N=170) randomly assigned to one of four treatment conditions: 1) no treatment, 2) 6-week online intervention 3) 6-week weight and caloric feedback only (via email), and 4) 6-week combined feedback and online intervention. The combined intervention group had lower BMIs at post-testing than the other three groups. This study demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of an online intervention to prevent weight gain among college students.
向大学的过渡阶段已被确定为超重发生率增加的一个关键时期。超重的大学生有成为肥胖成年人的风险，因此针对大学年龄段个体的预防措施是降低成人肥胖率的关键。本研究评估了一项针对一年级大学生（N=170）的互联网干预措施，他们被随机分配到以下四种治疗条件之一：1）无治疗，2）6 周在线干预，3）仅通过电子邮件提供 6 周的体重和卡路里反馈，以及 4）6 周的联合反馈和在线干预。与其他三组相比，联合干预组在测试后 BMI 较低。这项研究证明了在线干预在预防大学生体重增加方面的有效性和可行性。
