Summary

This study tests a family-based program called LEADS for overweight African American teens and their parents. The program teaches stress-coping skills, mindfulness, and positive parenting to help teens become more physically active. Researchers will measure changes in daily exercise, weight, and well-being in 330 families.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention (stress coping skills, mindfulness, positive parenting, physical activity promotion)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical, family-based way to help African American teens become more active and manage weight, reducing future health risks.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study (Phase NA) with 330 participants. The intervention is complex and may not work for all families, and long-term effects beyond 6 months are unknown.
