Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a telehealth behavioral weight control intervention for adolescents from a low-income background that combines facets of mindfulness training with behavioral weight control. We aim to examine biological (e.g., weight) and behavioral (e.g., emotional eating, mindfulness) changes as a result of a 12-session mindfulness-based weight control intervention compared to a 12-session standard behavioral weight control intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

The overarching aim of this study is to pilot and refine a novel Mindfulness-Based Weight Control (MBWC) intervention to improve weight management outcomes among adolescents (ages 13-18) who are overweight or obese and from a low-income background. First, we will pilot (open-trial) the MBWC intervention, with a focus on decreasing emotional eating, in an adolescent population. Second, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial of the 12-week MBWC intervention vs. a 12-week standard behavioral weight control intervention among adolescents who are overweight or obese and compare outcomes of the MBWC and control interventions. All components of this telehealth intervention will be delivered via HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing software. We are interested in examining change in biological and behavioral variables (e.g., body mass index normed for age and biological sex; perceived stress; eating and activity patterns; psychological function related to weight management) post-intervention and at three-month follow-up. Treatment satisfaction/treatment acceptability will be evaluated at the end of treatment. ;
