Teaching teens to navigate transit may boost activity and heart health
NCT ID NCT07044375
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a community program called Going Places, designed to help low-income teens aged 12-18 learn to use local transportation to reach parks and other activity programs. The program includes workshops, field trips, and advocacy activities. Researchers will measure whether it increases daily steps and improves teens' confidence in getting around, with the goal of supporting physical activity and long-term cardiometabolic health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Going Places behavioral intervention
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a low-cost, community-based way to increase physical activity and improve long-term cardiometabolic health in low-income youth.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and early-stage, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on community engagement and may not overcome all barriers to physical activity.
