Are you ready to lead a healthier lifestyle?

EVO is a 12-month healthy lifestyle and weight loss research study taking place in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University. Researchers are looking to determine the best strategy for weight loss and healthy living. Participants enroll in the 12-month study and receive a free 6-month health program.

 

Take part in a 12-month research study, and receive a 6-month healthy lifestyle program at no cost. No medications involved!

You get one of two healthy lifestyle programs. Both programs include:

  • A free 24-week health program, delivered remotely

  • Personalized diet, physical activity, and weight loss goals

  • Equipment to use during study sessions

We support you and your progress:

  • One-on-one sessions with a trained Health Promotionist during the first 6 months

  • Behavioral weight loss strategies are offered through online lessons or a study booklet

We follow your progress with remote visits (nothing in person!):

  • Attend one remote Zoom session before starting the program (30 minutes to an hour)

  • Attend remote assessment sessions at 3, 6 and 12 months (30 minutes to an hour each): we’ll take your weight and blood pressure, and ask you to complete online surveys and a computer task

  • You’ll receive compensation for your time and participation
