“…Overall, HWC program length averaged about nine months (M = 9.19; SD = 5.89) ranging from 2 12 to 24 months. 13,14 HWC session frequency was between 1 and 2 per month (M = 1.66; SD = 1.10) ranging from a low of .167 14 to a high of 4.5 sessions per month. 15 The coaching visit schedule was not always static, and sessions might vary based on participant needs and goals.…”

“…15 The coaching visit schedule was not always static, and sessions might vary based on participant needs and goals. 16,17 Often studies decreased HWC frequency over time 13,[18][19][20][21][22] or followed an initial schedule of coaching sessions with a follow-up booster. 23 Twenty diabetes studies reported HWC session duration averaging 35-40 minutes (M = 36.40; SD = 14.77) and ranging from 10 15 to 60 minutes.…”

Health and wellness coaching (HWC) is an effective intervention for lifestyle disease such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The evolving HWC profession needs recommendations to guide clinical practice, particularly the appropriate dose of coaching. The purpose of this paper was to systematically review and synthesize HWC literature to derive HWC programming recommendations. Of 102 papers retrieved, 88 were retained with data extracted determining HWC session number, frequency, duration, program length, and total coaching load. Differential analysis yielded no statistical difference in programming variables for randomized control trials and other designs, nor for studies with significant findings v. those not finding statistical significance, allowing these data to be pooled. The HWC intervention for obesity was slightly more intense (15 sessions over 7-8 mo) than the diabetes programming (12 sessions over 9-10 mo). On average, HWC programming applied in the peer-reviewed literature was 12-15 sessions of 35-40 min duration over 7-9 months. These recommendations for HWC programming variables are put forth as initial practice guidelines and should be examined with comparative effectiveness study for optimization. HWC best practice guidelines for other patient groups (e.g., heart disease, cancer, and chronic pain) should also be studied once an adequate literature data base is available.
