Brief description Overweight and obesity are crucial health issues worldwide with the prevalence estimated at 1.5 billion. In Australia 34% of women aged 26-31 years are overweight or obese and women living in rural communities are gaining weight faster than urban dwelling women. The work undertaken in this PhD will comprehensively evaluate and assist in the implementation of a large cluster randomized control trial testing the effectiveness of a low intensity, healthy lifestyle intervention to prevent weight gain in women living in rural Australia.
