Control Group: Delivery of a health literacy flyer
"A health literacy flyer was delivered, by e-mail, in the first week of the intervention (the flyer contained its original source - the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control). Beyond this, there was no further interaction with the group.~All primary and secondary outcome measures were assessed at baseline, one month later (in the middle of the intervention), post-intervention, and follow-up moments (3 and 6 months after the intervention)."
Experimental Group: Weekly group sessions for weight management
"The eHealth intervention was designed based on: i) the Health Action Process Approach determinants, ii) the Health Belief Model constructs, and iii) behaviour change techniques (BCT, Taxonomy v1, by Michie et al., 2013) to implement healthy behaviours.~The intervention consists of 8 sessions (90 minutes, once a week). All group intervention sessions, through the Zoom platform, are led by the psychologist responsible for the study. Whatsapp groups were created, to share experiences, knowledge, doubts, fears...~All primary and secondary outcome measures were assessed at baseline, one month later (in the middle of the intervention), post-intervention, and in follow-up moments (3 and 6 months after the intervention)."
