What this study is about

The present study is a public health project with the aim to treat overweight in children 9-11 years of age. After the first consultation the children are randomized to either continue the treatment at The Child Obesity Clinic, Child Department or to have the following 2-3 consultations on distance with Lync. Last visit for all children is on the Child Obesity Clinic after approximately 12 months. Follow up after at least 1 years will be performed.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
