Preventing childhood obesity with family fun
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if a playful family education program using smartphones or tablets can help prevent or manage childhood obesity in children ages 9 to 12. If you and your child have access to the internet and a digital device, and your child is overweight or has obesity, this program might offer a fun way to build healthy habits together.
