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.
