Strategies for Treating Obesity in Men

Are you involved in interventions to help men who are obese to lose weight?  If ‘yes’, then the ROMEO (Review Of MEn and Obesity) study would like to hear from you.  We are a team within the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen and are, currently, conducting a systematic review on the evidence-based management strategies for treating obesity in men, and how to engage men in these obesity services.  To that end, we aim to integrate the quantitative and qualitative evidence base for the management and engagement of men with obesity in weight loss services, researching concurrently to systematically review: (a) The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions for obesity in men, and men in contrast to women.  (b) The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions to engage men in their weight reduction.  (c) The qualitative research with men about obesity management, and providers of such services for men.  If you have any information on relevant projects conducted within your organisation that have been written up as a report (whether for internal or external purposes), or have been submitted for publication, or have already been published, we would like to hear from you.  Please send any relevant reports or articles you may have to: Health Services Research Unit, School of Medicine and Dentistry, Health Sciences Building, University of Aberdeen, Foresterhill AB25 2ZD or Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
