Summary

This trial will test a new weight management program for children. It will last a year and have 40 children enrolled.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 12-18 who are overweight or obese, as determined by their BMI percentile. They must have approval from their pediatrician to join a weight management program and pass a phone screening. Children with liver disease, significant heart issues, chronic medication use (like diuretics or steroids), emotional problems requiring medication, or those experiencing neglect or abuse cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of a clinic-based, multi-disciplinary weight management program over 12 weeks. It involves initial assessments of body composition and fitness levels followed by participation in the program with nutrition and physical activity guidance. After completing the program, there's an option to continue or enter a maintenance phase with evaluations every 12 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on behavior modification rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience psychological stress due to lifestyle changes or social pressures related to weight management programs.
