Summary

This study looks at whether giving families a personal navigator helps them stick with their child's obesity treatment. About 108 children aged 6-17 will be split into two groups: one gets usual care plus a navigator who helps with things like parking passes and text reminders, the other gets usual care alone. The goal is to see if this extra support reduces dropouts and helps families attend more appointments.
