Can a family-focused lifestyle program help teens avoid obesity and diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06822387
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.

- 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.
