PURPOSE: To assess the effect of an educational intervention on antipsychotic-induced @entity1017 among @entity1 with @entity161 . DESIGN AND METHODS: Quasi-experimental. Seventy @entity1 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of @entity161 or @entity914 entered this 6-month study condicted in the United States. All @entity1 began receiving @entity1037 treatment when they entered the study. The @entity1 were then randomly assigned to an intervention group or a standard care group. Over the next 4-months, the intervention group participated in weekly psychoeducation classes focused on nutrition, exercise, and living a healthy lifestyle. @entity1 were followed for an additional 2 months to assess weight change. FINDINGS: A statistically significant difference in weight change between the two groups was observed post-treatment and at endpoint. At endpoint, the mean weight change of the intervention group was -.06 pounds, while the mean weight change in the standard care group was 9.57 pounds. In both groups, @entity1 gained significantly more weight than did @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that a structured educational intervention might have a positive effect on antipsychotic-induced @entity1017 among @entity1 with @entity161 .
