This can affect both their physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n<p>It is not unusual for people to experience depression and overweight\/obesity at the same time and people have described how this can make it difficult to make and sustain lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n<p>Many people can be supported to lose weight by accessing community-based weight management services. However, we do not know how people living with depression and other common mental health conditions access and experience using these services.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cili \u00ebsht\u00eb q\u00ebllimi i hulumtimit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We want to find out how people who experience depression, anxiety, or other common mental illnesses, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, access and use publicly funded weight management services.<\/p>\n<p>We are especially interested in how people find out about these services, whether they are helpful and how they can be improved.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Si do t\u00eb arrihet kjo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We will undertake interviews with people living with overweight\/obesity and depression or similar mental health conditions and health professionals involved in providing weight management services.<\/p>\n<p>We will talk to people who have used community-based weight management services and people who have not. We want to understand more about how and why people choose to use these services and how they are experienced by people living with mental health conditions such as depression.<\/p>\n<p>We also want to attend weight management sessions to understand more about how services can be improved.<\/p>\n<p>We will use robust methods to understand and contrast people\u2019s views and experiences and make recommendations for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>These ideas will be discussed in meetings with members of the public before drawing up a plan for how services should look in the future. The proposals will then be presented to local and national policymakers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kush po e udh\u00ebheq hulumtimin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research-information.bris.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/amanda-l-owen-smith\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Amanda Owen Smith<\/a>, Senior Lecturer, Bristol Medical School.<\/p>\n<p>P\u00ebr m\u00eb shum\u00eb informacion ose p\u00ebr t&#039;u p\u00ebrfshir\u00eb n\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb projekt, d\u00ebrgoni email <a href=\"mailto:bnssg.research@nhs.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bnssg.research@nhs.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pik\u00ebpamjet e shprehura jan\u00eb ato t\u00eb autorit\/autor\u00ebve dhe jo domosdoshm\u00ebrisht ato t\u00eb NIHR ose t\u00eb Departamentit t\u00eb Sh\u00ebndet\u00ebsis\u00eb dhe Kujdesit Social.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\r\n  <\/section><\/div><!-- .assembler_text-module.assembler_module.assembler_text-module_1.assembler_module_1..transparent --><\/div><!-- .assembler_module_area.assembler_module_area_1 --><\/div><!-- .assembler_default-group.assembler_module_group.assembler_default-group_1.assembler_module_group_1  -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Section titled module-1 Healthy minds, healthy bodies: can community weight loss services support better mental health?
