Trial Outcomes & Findings for Choosing Healthy Options in College Environments and Settings (NCT NCT01134783)

NCT ID: NCT01134783

Last Updated: 2016-06-17

Results Overview

The primary aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a 24-month weight gain prevention intervention to positively affect body mass index (BMI) in 2-year college students. Our hypothesis is that students randomized to an intervention condition will experience a smaller increase in mean BMI post treatment as compared to students randomized to the control condition.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 Months

Population: The original study design was 4 arms (1 control \& 3 intervention) that varied in the way the 4-month curriculum was delivered. Our formative work showed that students not being able to choose the course delivery method would limit interest in study participation. We changed the study design to 2 arms, which was approved by the EARLY trials DSMB.
