What this trial studies

This interventional implementation study will measure reach, clinical effectiveness, and adoption of the pathway within the Nova Scotia health system. Eligible participants are adults aged 19 or older who are 3–18 months post-weight-loss surgery and can complete English computer self-report questionnaires. The program is delivered at the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax and combines clinical outcomes with implementation metrics to determine feasibility and impact.
