Jean Harvey, PhD, RDN, is recognized for her research on behavioral weight management with a specific focus on technology-based programs, including the Vtrim program.[1]

Dr. Harvey is currently the Robert L. Bickford, Jr. Endowed Professor, the Associate Dean for Research, and the Chair of the Department of Nutrition and Food Science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Vermont. She received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Pennsylvania State University. She then received her doctorate in epidemiology from the University of Pittsburgh, advised by Rena Wing, PhD.

Dr. Harvey co-authored the "Eating Well Diet" book (with the editors of "Eating Well" magazine). The "Eating Well Diet" book received the James Beard Foundation book award in the Healthy Focus category in 2008.[2]

Dr. Harvey received the Fulbright Senior Specialist Scholar Award in August 2012 and was hosted by the University of Newcastle in Australia.[3]

Technology-Based Weight Management Research

Dr. Harvey first used interactive television to deliver a weight management program, and found that participants in the interactive television condition were as successful at losing weight as participants in the standard in-person condition, although the interactive television approach was more cost-effective.[4] Dr. Harvey then explored the possibility for using the internet to provide support for weight maintenance, and she found that participants who received internet-based support had similar weight maintenance to those who continued to meet in person.[5]

Next, she examined the possibility of using the internet for inducing weight loss. In the first iREACH trial, she and her colleagues compared an internet-based condition to an in-person condition to a hybrid approach.[6] While she found that the internet-based approach achieved lower weight losses compared to the in-person condition (with no difference between the internet and hybrid approaches), the internet-based approach was more cost-effective.[7]

In the second iREACH trial, she and her colleagues examined the potential of motivational interviewing to close the gap they found in weight loss in the first iREACH trial between weight losses in the internet-based program compared to the in-person program. However, they found no difference in weight losses between those who received 6 sessions online motivational interviewing counseling compared to those who did not.[8]
