Authors' objectives:
To assess whether or not a task-based weight management programme [Weight Action Programme (WAP)] has better long-term effects than a 'best practice' intervention provided in primary care by practice nurses.
Authors' recommendations:
A WAP delivered in general practice better promotes weight loss over 12 months than a best usual practice nurse-led weight loss programme.
