Game of Stones Trial - Our Results and What's Next
in person and online (hybrid)
About the Game of Stones trial
The Game of Stones trial explored whether text messages plus financial incentives could support men who are trying to lose weight. Men’s health groups and charities, including Men’s Health Forum, were involved in the design, to create a trial designed by men for men.
585 men living with obesity from Belfast, Bristol and Glasgow took part in the trial.
The research was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
Who should attend
The meeting is open to anyone interested in obesity and weight management. It will be of particular interest to study participants, primary care and public health practitioners, healthcare commissioners, charities, researchers and others supporting men to lose weight.
