Summary
This study tests whether a Family Navigator—a trained helper who offers extra support like parking passes and encouraging texts—can reduce dropout rates in pediatric obesity clinics. About 108 children aged 6 to 17 in Canada will either receive usual care alone or usual care plus a navigator for 12 months. The main goal is to see if families find the navigator helpful and acceptable, not to measure weight loss directly.
