Evaluation of a Family-based Pediatric Obesity Program: TEENS+

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Investigators propose to pilot an adolescent obesity intervention, TEENS+, to examine the feasibility of this dietary intervention strategy and preliminary effectiveness of two models of parental involvement within adolescent obesity treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

Investigators will recruit overweight or obese adolescents (BMI >85th percentile) and parent(s) (BMI >25 kg/m2). Families will participate in one of two 6-month treatments: 1) TEENS+Parents as Coaches (PAC), engaging parents as helpers in their child's weight management, or 2) TEENS+Parent Weight Loss (PWL), engaging parents in their own weight management. All adolescents will participate in TEENS+, which includes behavioral support, nutrition education, and supervised physical activity.

For the adolescents, intervention will consist of weekly 1 hour exercise sessions and alternating weekly 1 hour behavioral and nutrition group sessions. Parents will also attend the nutrition sessions and participate in a behavioral parent-only biweekly group. Parent behavioral group sessions will be specific to the treatment arm (e.g. PAC or PWL). Assessments will consist of anthropometric measures, lab work, psychological surveys, and nutritional evaluations. Assessments will be completed at baseline, 3 months, 6 months (post-intervention), and 9 months. ;
