Impact of electronic health record‐coaching features in weight change: A secondary analysis from the MAINTAIN‐pc randomized trial
Authors' conclusion
The data suggest heterogeneity in the patient population regarding preference for in-person versus EHR-based coaching formats. Such heterogeneity might result in the differential success of EHR-based interventions.

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Weight regain
- Participants content with intervention delivery via the electronic health record (EHR) had significantly less weight regain
- p = 0.013
- Participants who felt a strong connection to their coach had significantly less weight regain
- p < 0.01
- Participants with needs unmet by the intervention (e.g., in-person support) regained more weight
- p < 0.01
