Check out this newly vetted research opportunity! We need your help! • Do you want to lose weight and become more physically active? • Have you had a toe, foot or leg amputated at least 12 month ago? • Are you at least 18 years old? • Are you willing to be randomized to the self-directed or the intervention group? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may be eligible to participate. We are conducting a research study that will test a home-based physical activity and weight management program for individuals with lower limb loss. Information from this study will be used to develop programs to help others with lower limb loss become and stay physically active, so that they are healthier and better able to live independently. Call the study line at 1-855-277-3855 to learn more. What will we ask you to do if you decide to participate in the study? All participants will receive educational materials and a pedometer. The intervention group will also receive telephone and in-person support to achieve their weight loss goals. The telephone support involves 11 calls over 20 weeks. All participants will be asked to come to Seattle VA for two visits (at the start and then about 5 months later). During those visits, we’ll ask you to fill out questionnaires and to have measurements taken. All participants (regardless of group) will receive up to $100 as a thank-you for completing study visits.
