Video games and veggies: new program aims to boost teen Well-Being
NCT ID NCT07489365
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 25-week program called eHOOD for teens with challenges like anxiety, loneliness, or ADHD. Each week, participants did physical activities, cooked and ate dinner together, learned about healthy habits, and played online games as a group. The goal was to see if it's possible to run a larger study, not to measure health changes. Only 22 teens took part, and researchers focused on whether the program was practical and acceptable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eHOOD intervention (weekly meetings with physical activity, communal dinner, healthy lifestyle education, and guided online gaming)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a fun, social way to help at-risk teens build healthy habits and feel less lonely.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small feasibility study with only 22 participants and no control group. It was designed to test whether a larger trial is possible, not to prove the program works.
