Research summary
This study is trying to find out if it is possible and practical to identify food addiction during a routine appointment with a dietitian.
From the research evidence, we know that some people living with obesity consider themselves to be addicted to food.
Our team would like to find out if we can ask patients about food addiction and then signpost them to a support group specifically to help with food addiction. We want to test this through a small randomised controlled trial, which will hopefully tell us if it is worth completing a bigger trial.REC name
