New Family-Focused program aims to tackle childhood obesity
NCT ID NCT07158944
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a family support model that combines two existing programs: a universal school-based program for all first graders and a targeted program for parents of children with overweight or obesity. Researchers will enroll 126 parents of children aged 6-12 in Sweden to see if this combined approach helps children achieve a healthier weight over 12 months. The goal is to improve collaboration between schools and health clinics to catch and address weight issues early.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention: family support programs (A Healthy School Start and More and Less)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable model for preventing and managing childhood obesity through coordinated family and school support.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial (126 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not generalize widely. The study is not yet recruiting, and outcomes depend on long-term family engagement.
