This study tested effects of three methods for delivering a weight-loss education program for women. Seventy-four predominantly White participants at least 10 pounds over healthy weight began the program. Their average age was 41.7 years (range = 19 to 73), weight 173 pounds, Body Mass Index (BMI) 29.36, and waist/hip ratio .77. Participants were randomly placed into three groups: classroom (24), textbook (25), or computer program (25). The curriculum for all participants was taken from the same weight-loss manual, and all participants completed the same weekly assignments. Participants’ weight loss, BMI, and waist/hip ratios were compared at the end of the program. Weight loss (F = 29.4, p < .001; 2, 102 DF), reduction in BMI (F = 29.5, p < .001; 2, 102 DF]), and waist/hip ratio reduction (F = 3.11, p < .05; 2, 102 DF) across all groups were significant. There were no significant group differences in weight loss, BMI, waist/hip ratio reduction, or drop-out rates.
