Feasibility and Acceptability of a Pediatric Referral to Summer Day Camps to Treat Obesity in Children From Low-Income Households
NCT07464015 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Children from low-income households have a 25-30% higher prevalence of OWOB compared to their higher-income peers. The lack of feasible and effective treatments to address obesity in children with OWOB and from low-income household's points to a real need for prioritization and urgency. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) notes several shortcomings with current behavioral interventions and clinical practice to treat children with OWOB. Current efforts lack the necessary intensity recommended by USPSTF (26-52 hours in a 6-month period); incorporate multi-component interventions that are not feasible to consistently deliver; do not consider barriers to services/programs, such as cost; do not explore collaborative relationships between providers and community programs, and are expressed as 'treatment', therefore, perpetuating the stigma of being overweight/obese. Our project rationale focuses on addressing these limitations during a critical time for accelerated weight-gain in children with OWOB, summer. Our pilot randomized clinical trial will provide free access for children to attend summer day camps (SDCs) as a treatment for OWOB. SDCs are settings where children show high levels of physical activity, consume foods/beverages that meet federal nutrition guidelines, and maintain a consistent sleep schedule during summer. Unfortunately, not all children have access to SDCs. Our team surveyed more than 100 parents/guardians (84% Medicaid) who have a child with OWOB and receives treatment at a pediatric clinic and \~75% reported that they would like to receive a voucher to attend a SDC and that cost was the number one reason why their child did not attend. The proposed pilot randomized clinical trial will randomize a total of 80 children with OWOB (5-11 years) who are covered by Medicaid, into two groups: (1) those who receive a pediatric voucher referral (PVR) from an pediatrician or nurse practitioner to attend an existing SDC for 8 weeks free-of- charge

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07464015
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07464015 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 80 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Central Florida, which has 189 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Obesity & Overweight appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Summer Day Camp is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07464015 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
