Standard Evaluation Framework for Weight Management Interventions

National Obesity Observatory
This document aims to guide the reader through the process of using the Standard Evaluation
Framework (SEF). It introduces the concepts of evaluation, describes the SEF, and provides guidance on how to use it.
The SEF is a list of data collection criteria and supporting guidance for collecting high quality information that supports the evaluation of weight management interventions across England.
In this document, the term weight management intervention refers to any intervention that explicitly sets out to manage or reduce body weight (including the primary prevention of weight gain). This includes projects focusing on diet, physical activity, or both in combination. It is intended to be applicable to a range of approaches including interventions conducted with individuals on a one-to-one basis or in groups, and in clinical or community settings.
