Lifestyle Change Implementation Research Network (LCIRN)

By admin , 27 March, 2026

This project will examine the effectiveness and implementation of a commercially available lifestyle change intervention (LCI), among patients using GLP-1s. The research team will conduct a randomized controlled trial of patients using GLP-1s comparing a 4-month digital LCI (n=110) with a wait-list standard of care (n=110). Primary outcomes include change in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and Healthy Eating Index score. Secondary outcomes include frequency of muscle strengthening activities, self-efficacy for exercise and diet, as well as lean body mass, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure. The team will also examine multi-level implementation outcomes with patients, LCIs, providers, and healthcare systems.

Students will assist with recruitment, in-person data collection, survey administration, assisting with reports, literature reviews, and data organization, and attending project meetings.
