Plain-language summary
A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.
Study focus
This study evaluated a motivational interview-based lifestyle intervention in a partially randomised patient preference trial, finding a significant weight loss in the intervention group.
This study's findings are significant as they suggest that motivational interviewing can effectively help individuals achieve meaningful weight loss. Given the rising prevalence of obesity and its associated health risks, such interventions could play a crucial role in public health strategies aimed at improving lifestyle and health outcomes.
High attrition rate may affect the reliability of results. Limited statistical significance reported for several outcomes. Small sample size restricts generalizability of findings.

Attrition rate was 44% (n = 22/50).
46% (n = 6) of the intervention group achieved ≥5% weight loss compared to 8% (n = 1) in the control group.
Mean weight change was -2.1kg±9.0 in the intervention group versus +4.4kg±4.9 in the control group.
