Interventional Study.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07839832). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Stanford University. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 200 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Obesity, Childhood. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Wise interventions -- values self-affirmation and growth mindset -- plus usual care behavioral treatment; BEHAVIORAL: Education plus usual care behavioral treatment. Primary outcome measures: Change in body mass index from baseline to 12 months , Change from baseline to 12 months. Brief summary: Past modest, transient and highly variable outcomes from many behavioral treatments for pediatric obesity may be, in part, because of the psychological barriers children with obesity face when trying to control their weight. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test whether adding two innovative, brief, social psychological activities (termed "wise" interventions) to a high quality, family-based, group behavioral weight control program, will produce better outcomes among participating children with obesity. The primary hypothesis is that children who receive the family-based, group, behavioral weight control program plus the wise social psychological interventions will have significantly less body mass index growth over 12 months than children who receive the family-based, group, behavioral weight control program plus additional educational content. Participants will be asked to do participate in the six month treatment program and complete measurements at the beginning of the study, after 3 months, after 6 months (the end of the behavioral treatment program), and after 12 months (6 months after completing the behavioral treatment program). This study has the potential to substantially improve the outcomes of pediatric weight control treatments and significantly reduce concurrent and future health, psychological and social harms from childhood obesity.
