Who is the study for?

Participants should be willing to engage in obesity-prevention behaviors and have their weight status monitored.
What is being tested?
The study is testing 'ProudMe', an adolescent obesity prevention program, against a waitlist control where no immediate intervention is provided. The effectiveness of ProudMe will be measured by improvements in behavior and weight status among students from schools that implement it.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience changes in lifestyle or stress due to new activities related to obesity prevention.
