About the Game of Stones trial

The Game of Stones trial explored whether text messages plus financial incentives could support men who are trying to lose weight. Men’s health groups and charities, including Men’s Health Forum, were involved in the design, to create a trial designed by men for men.

585 men living with obesity from Belfast, Bristol and Glasgow took part in the trial.

The research was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).

Who should attend

The meeting is open to anyone interested in obesity and weight management. It will be of particular interest to study participants, primary care and public health practitioners, healthcare commissioners, charities, researchers and others supporting men to lose weight.

Please note: Professor Pat Hoddinott, Chief Investigator on the Game of Stones Trial, will be available for meetings during the week beginning 11 November 2024. If you would like to meet with her or have any questions about this event, please contact gameofstones-study@bristol.ac.uk.
