An observational study in Pediatric Obesity, sponsored by Virginia Commonwealth University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 8 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-10-02.
Sponsored by Virginia Commonwealth University · Observational
An observational study ancillary to the randomized clinical trial (RCT) TEENS+ (R01HD095910), a family-based lifestyle intervention, for adolescents with obesity, to determine: 1) if family-wide changes to the shared home environment are implemented, 2) if ripple effects to untreated family members are observed, and 3) whether these changes are predictive of adolescents' weight management success.
Funding support from NIH via R21HD105906.
Investigators will recruit non-targeted children (8-17yrs) and caregivers living in the same household as the target TEENS+ parent/adolescent dyad. At 0, 2, 4 and 8m, the target adolescent/parent dyad (n=60), and non-targeted children and caregivers will complete anthropometric assessments, and measures of the shared home feeding and weight-related environment will be conducted.
6,296 studies on the registry are indexed under Obesity; 1,692 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 55 is below the median of 135 across 1,283 observational studies indexed under Obesity.

Individuals residing in the home with the parent/child dyad who are participating in the TEENS+ (R01HD095910) RCT. Participating dyads must have overweight or obesity.
Exclusion Criteria:
Non-targeted children and caregivers living in the same household as the target parent/adolescent dyad. Non-targeted meaning they did not receive the TEENS+ intervention.
Other: No intervention
Non-treated children and caregivers complete assessments only. The primary (treated) parent / adolescent dyad participate in family based weight management treatment through the main trial. In the main trial, families are randomized to either TEENS+Parents as Coaches (parent skills training) or TEENS+Parent Weight Loss (parent behavioral weight loss).
Family-level changes to the shared home environment.
Changes in the home food available and the home exercise and electronic media environment.
Time frame: 4 months (baseline to 4 months)
Weight changes.
Weight changes observed among untreated individuals (child zBMI and caregiver % weight loss)
Time frame: 4 months (baseline to 4 months)
Household changes and target adolescent weight.
Associations between household changes and target adolescent weight loss and maintenance.
Time frame: 8 months [weight loss (baseline to 4 months) and maintenance (4-8)]
