CRD SUMMARY: The authors concluded that seven studies supported the effectiveness of obesity prevention, in multiple settings, and that providing information on behaviour-to-health links, prompting practice, and planning social support were more common in effective interventions. The authors' conclusions were tentative and they suggested that their results should be interpreted with caution, which seems appropriate.
