About this study

In plain language

This study looks at how well a community program helps children with overweight or obesity and their families learn healthy habits. Families are placed by chance into the program or on a waiting list. Parents may choose to have their weight and body measurements taken, but do not have to.

This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of an existing clinical program that teaches families of children with overweight and obesity healthy lifestyle. The design will be unblinded, randomized, waitlist control.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
