Collaboration between a dietitian and a psychologist has been described as critical to the development and implementation of this weight control programs, and this paper describes such a program conducted through a college student health center. Nutritional components of weight loss programs should provide information which will enable participants to select and consume a nutritionally sound low-calorie diet. The goal of the nutrition component is to promote healthy weight loss through sound nutrition principles, adoption of an individualized exercise program, and a personal exchange diet plan. Behavior modification is an important part of weight loss programs. Modification of eating behaviors consists of techniques that encourage the development of a controlled eating style. Stimulus control involves the modification of environmental cues so that undesirable responses will decrease in frequency and desireable responses will be more likely to occur. Contingency management refers to procedures designed to change the consequences for weight-related events in order to modifiy the probability of future occurrences. In this program college students meet with a registered dietitian individually and then attend a 6-week program. The program stresses appropriate food choices, the benefits of exercise, behavioral chains, cue elimination techniques, current issues in food, and interpreting food labels. Students have reported satisfaction with the class. Dietitians and psychologists need to work together to provide comprehensive weight managment programs. (ABL)
