Summary

This study tests whether a 4-week emotion regulation and self-monitoring program can help overweight and obese teens ages 11-14. Participants attend weekly telehealth groups and track their mood and health behaviors. Researchers will measure changes in brain activity, blood markers, and eating habits, comparing the program to standard educational handouts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
emotion regulation and self-monitoring behavioral intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new, non-drug way to help teens manage weight by improving how they handle emotions and food cues.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study (30 teens) testing a behavioral approach, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is short (4 weeks) and relies on self-report, which can be unreliable.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Being English-proficient * Ages 11-14 * At or above the 85th BMI percentile based on age and sex norms * Having access to WIFI or cellular data to attend the telehealth groups * Living in a home in Lubbock County (TX) or surrounding areas. Exclusion Criteria: * Having a psychiatric or medical diagnosis that interferes with participation (e.g., significant developmental delay; pregnancy) * Current enrollment in overweight/obesity treatment. * Because the study will include entering an MRI scanner, additional standard exclusion criteria will be considered (e.g., having immovable medical devices with batteries, body piercings on the head/face, and having substantial visual impairment that cannot be corrected with staff-provided glasses)
