What this study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an AI-based peer-mentoring works to prevent obesity in adolescents and young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the AI-based peer-mentoring improve dietary habits and increase physical activity in healthy individuals 12-25 yrs old? Does the AI-based peer-mentoring reduces the risk of obesity? Researchers will compare the AI-based behavioral peer-mentoring intervention to traditional peer-mentoring and to health education intervention to see if AI-based peer-mentoring is more effective. Participants will: Follow either a structured AI-based peer-mentoring program or a traditional peer-mentoring program or health education sessions focusing on diet and physical activity They will be evaluated at baseline, at 6 months and at 12 months

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

Treatments and study arms

AI-informed behavioral intervention

Behavioral

A hybrid, human-delivered peer-mentoring intervention, combining in-person and remote interactions and supported by AI-informed tools that provide mentors with access to ethically governed, privacy-preserving participant indicators. The intervention will operate under a supervisor-in-the-loop model, ensuring participant safety, intervention quality and ethical compliance, mentor support, and timely escalation to professional care when risks exceed the scope of peer support.

Standard behavioral intervention

Behavioral

Standard in-person behavioral intervention

Health Education

Other

Regular professional-delivered health educational sessions on nutrition and physical activity
