Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if health-related text messages sent from healthcare providers to overweight and obese adolescents enrolled at a pediatric lipid clinic will result in increased adherence to their nutrition and physical activity goals and improve their weight loss. The study will also assess if the volume of texts per week impacts outcomes.
Primary Outcome
This will involve a pre-study interview with a small group of subjects to assess for their opinions on the text messages and study concept. Following this, we will perform a small scale trial of the program, involving 20 participants with 10 subjects in the intervention group and 10 controls. The number of participants will most likely not be adequate to reach statistical significance in detecting differences in healthy food choices, physical activity and BMI z-score between control and experime
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Group A
- OTHER Group B
