For children, adolescents and adults with overweight or grade 1 obesity, group programmes are offered which include content on nutrition, exercise and behaviour. However, it is a challenge to reach the respective target groups and to retain the participants in the programme for the entire duration. Based on the reviewed literature, numerous strategies for recruiting target groups and improving programme adherence were identified. In addition, an overview of existing programmes in German-speaking countries was provided.
