NCT ID NCT06052943
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study offers a family-based program called Health Without Barriers to teens and their families in rural southwest Colorado. The program includes mindfulness training, nutrition and physical activity sessions, and parent education to help prevent chronic health problems like Type 2 Diabetes. Researchers want to see if families find the program acceptable and helpful. About 175 teens aged 11-19 and their families will take part.

Inclusion Criteria: Families must have at least 1 teen that is between the ages of 11-19 years old and reside in La Plata, Montezuma, or Archuleta Counties. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants will not take part in the program and/or research activities if they have a medical and/or psychological/behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the Colorado State University/Extension program team, could interfere with safety for themselves or others or interfere with the capability of the participant or other participants to potentially benefit from the program (e.g., severe emotional-behavioral disturbance, inability to follow facilitator directions) . * Parents/guardians will not take part in the program and/or research activities if they have a medical and/or psychological/behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the Colorado State University/Extension program team, could interfere with safety for themselves or others or interfere with the capability of their family or other participating families to potentially benefit from the program (e.g., using drugs or alcohol or under the use of drugs/alcohol during program sessions, aggressive or inappropriate behavior toward other participants).
