Abstract

Abstract Appetitive traits are associated with weight and could be managed using behavioural strategies. Personalised approaches to weight loss could use a person's appetitive trait profile to tailor weight management advice. This study aimed to explore participants’ experiences of a brief Appetitive Trait Tailored Intervention (ATTI) based on participants’ Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ) scores. The ATTI was developed using strategies from modified Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and behaviour change techniques. Acceptability testing of the ATTI was carried out with participants (body mass index ≥25) who completed the AEBQ online and were sent their appetitive trait profile and corresponding weight loss tips via e-mail. Participants were asked to follow the tips for 8 weeks and following the tips, perceived helpfulness, barriers, and initial and final body weight. Qualitative interviews explored their experiences. Thirty-seven participants provided feedback and reported the majority of the tips to be helpful. Thirty-two participants (92.5% female) provided their final weight; 10 reported weight loss ≥5% of initial weight. Qualitative interviews (n = 21) revealed that tailoring was seen as novel and participants felt that the ATTI increased their self-awareness and encouraged behavioural changes. The low intensity of the ATTI limited engagement for some. The ATTI is an acceptable, novel approach to weight management.

简要的“胃口特征定制干预”:超重和肥胖成人样本的发展

食欲特征与体重有关，可以通过行为策略进行管理。个性化的减肥方法可以根据一个人的食欲特征来定制体重管理建议。本研究旨在探讨参与者在成人饮食行为问卷(AEBQ)得分基础上的简短胃口特征定制干预(ATTI)体验。ATTI是使用改进的认知行为疗法和行为改变技术的策略开发的。参与者(身体质量指数≥25)在线完成AEBQ，并通过电子邮件发送他们的食欲特征概况和相应的减肥提示，对ATTI进行可接受性测试。参与者被要求遵循提示8周，并遵循提示，感知帮助，障碍，以及最初和最终的体重。定性访谈探讨了他们的经历。37名参与者提供了反馈，并报告说大多数建议是有用的。32名参与者(92.5%为女性)提供了最终体重;10例报告体重减轻≥初始体重的5%。定性访谈(n = 21)显示，剪裁被视为新颖的，参与者认为ATTI提高了他们的自我意识并鼓励了行为改变。ATTI的低强度限制了一些人的参与。ATTI是一种可接受的、新颖的体重管理方法。
