Recruiting now · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT06147973
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about cardiovascular disease risk among adolescent girls with overweight/obesity. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: 1. Does an acceptance-based healthy lifestyle intervention demonstrate more weight loss than a health education intervention? 2. Does an acceptance-based healthy lifestyle intervention show more improvements in participants' physiological, health-related, and psychological factors compared to a health education intervention? Participants in this trial will: 1. Engage in treatment for 6-months, comprising of a mixture of in-person and remote group sessions, occurring at Drexel University or over a video-conferencing platform. 2. Complete various assessments. These include self-reported questionnaires, measures of weight, height, body composition, blood pressure, and blood lipids, and wearing of smart watches to measure sleep and physical activity. Researchers will compare the acceptance-based and health education intervention groups to see if the acceptance-based treatment will indeed be effective in improving participants' health outcomes.

Full registry criteria
Treatments and study arms
Acceptance-based Treatment (ABT)
Participants will be provided with psycho-education, skill-builders, and other coaching to promote weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes.
Health Education (HE) Comparison
Participants will be provided with psych-education and resources to promote weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes. They will not be provided with directives.
Primary outcomes
Compare ABT vs. HE on BMI z-score change at post-treatment (month 6). The investigators hypothesize a significantly greater decrease in BMI z-scores in the ABT relative to HE.
