Overweight and obesity are crucial health issues worldwide with the prevalence estimated at 1.5 billion. In Australia 34% of women aged 26-31 years are overweight or obese and women living in rural communities are gaining weight faster than urban dwelling women. The work undertaken in this PhD will comprehensively evaluate and assist in the implementation of a large cluster randomized control trial testing the effectiveness of a low intensity, healthy lifestyle intervention to prevent weight gain in women living in rural Australia.

超重和肥胖是全球范围内的重要健康问题，估计患病率为15亿。在澳大利亚，34%的26-31岁妇女超重或肥胖，生活在农村社区的妇女比城市妇女体重增加得更快。在这个博士学位进行的工作将全面评估和协助实施一项大型集群随机对照试验，测试低强度，健康的生活方式干预的有效性，以防止生活在澳大利亚农村的妇女体重增加。
