How does the ADOPT Core Measures Project work?

Researchers are encouraged to access and use the Core Measures to help build a database to enable researchers to answer questions about predictors, mediators, and moderators of responses to obesity treatments.

The Core Measures are classified into four major domains: behavior, biology, environment, and psychology.

View the list of ADOPT Core Measures by domain. You may be required to create a GEM account before viewing the articles. A GEM account is free of charge: https://www.gem-measures.org/Login.aspx
