Summary

This trial tests whether an acceptance-based healthy lifestyle program helps adolescent girls with overweight or obesity lose more weight than standard health education. Participants attend group sessions for six months, either in person or online, and complete health assessments including weight, body fat, blood pressure, and sleep tracking. The study aims to see if teaching acceptance and coping skills leads to better weight loss and heart health improvements.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Acceptance-based behavioral treatment (ABT) — a program teaching skills to promote weight loss and healthy habits
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a practical, non-drug way to help teens manage weight and reduce future heart disease risk.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial comparing two behavioral programs, so results may not apply broadly. Weight loss can be difficult to sustain long-term.
