- L4 weight management intervention
- description
- A weight management intervention, namely Lose Little, Live Longer (L4), is recently developed to assist overweight cancer survivors in weight loss through lifestyle modification including improved dietary quality and enhanced physical activity levels. Its underlying theoretical framework is principally derived from Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), which have been widely used in health behavioural change interventions.
