Summary

This trial tests whether a nutrition program designed with input from students, parents, teachers, and cafeteria staff can improve the weight and eating habits of adolescents. About 2,600 teens in grades 7-9 across 52 schools in India and Nepal will take part. Researchers will measure height, weight, diet, and activity levels before and after 12 months to see if the program helps more teens reach a healthy weight.
