NCT04364282 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1216

Last updated 2026-03-31

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Attrition from pediatric weight management programs is unacceptably high, with dropout ranging from 27-73%. This project will utilize a model that predicts dropout from treatment, increasing its power and accuracy through a multi-site observational study. This will result in a powerful tool that will be used to decrease attrition from pediatric weight management, with the potential for widespread dissemination to improve treatment outcomes.
