Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

This study aims to examine associations of social support for healthful eating and physical activity with adolescents’ healthful and unhealthful weight management strategies and body mass index (BMI).  The study will compare motivators and level of motivation for adolescent weight loss between adolescents and parents and across care sites (i.e., primary care vs. specialty care for obesity). Finally, the study will examine the relations of adolescent- and parent-reported motivators and level of motivation for weight loss with adolescents’ healthful and unhealthful weight management strategies and BMI.
