Research suggests that social networks, social support, and social influence are associated with weight trajectories among treatment- and non-treatment-seeking individuals.
This study examined the impact of having a social contact who participated in the same group behavioral weight-control intervention in the absence of specific social support training on women engaged in a weight-loss program.
Participants (n=92; 100% female; 54% black; mean age: 46±10 years; mean BMI: 38±6) were grouped based upon whether or not they reported a social contact enrolled previously/concurrently in our behavioral weight-control studies.
Primary outcomes were 6-month weight change and treatment adherence (session attendance and self-monitoring).
Half of the participants (53%) indicated that they had a social contact; black women were more likely to report a social contact than white women (67.3% versus 39.5%; P<0.01).
Among participants with a social contact, 67% reported at least one contact as instrumental in the decision to enroll in the program.
Those with a contact lost more weight (5.9 versus 3.7 kg; P=0.04), attended more group sessions (74% versus 54%; P<0.01), and submitted more self-monitoring journals (69% versus 54%; P=0.01) than those without a contact.
Participants' weight change was inversely associated with social contacts' weight change (P=0.04).
There was no association between participant and contact’s group attendance or self-monitoring.
Social networks may be a promising vehicle for recruiting and engaging women in a behavioral weight-loss program, particularly black women.
The role of a natural social contact deserves further investigation.
