Summary

This trial tests a culturally adapted program called Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras for teens aged 11–19 and their families in Northern Colorado. The program combines mindfulness, nutrition education, physical activity, and parenting support over several sessions. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible and acceptable to families, and whether it leads to healthier behaviors that could lower the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindfulness-based intervention, parent education, and physical activity program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical, culturally adapted way to help teens and families adopt healthier habits and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving health outcomes. The program may not show meaningful changes or be scalable to other communities.

Inclusion Criteria: Adolescent subjects * Between the ages 11-19 years old * Reside in Larimer County, Weld County, or the surrounding areas. Parent/guardian subjects: * 18 years old or older * Are parents/guardians of an adolescent between the ages of 11-19 * Reside in Larimer County, Weld County, or the surrounding areas Facilitators subjects * 18 years old or older * Reside in Larimer County, Weld County, or the surrounding areas * Are planning to or have facilitated HWB Exclusion Criteria Adolescents subjects will not take part in the research activities if they have a medical and/or psychological/behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the Colorado State University/Extension program team, could interfere with safety for themselves or others or interfere with the capability of the participant or other participants to potentially benefit from the program (e.g., severe emotional-behavioral disturbance, inability to follow facilitator directions). Parents/guardians will not take part in the research activities if they have a medical and/or psychological/behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the Colorado State University/Extension program team, could interfere with safety for themselves or others or interfere with the capability of their family or other participating families to potentially benefit from the program (e.g., using drugs or alcohol or under the use of drugs/alcohol during program sessions, aggressive or inappropriate behavior toward other participants).
