First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
