ADOPT Core Measures
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.
