Brain and behavior's role in childhood obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain and behavior contribute to obesity from infancy through childhood. It may help researchers understand why some children develop obesity and how to prevent it.

This study looks at how children's eating habits relate to their health. Children aged 7 to 9 who are either a healthy weight or have obesity may join, along with their biological mother (who must meet certain weight criteria) and the parent who manages feeding.
This study looks at how and when children eat. It uses a special scan and asks parents about their child's mealtimes to learn about healthy eating patterns.
This study looks at how eating, body factors (like weight), and behavior may relate to genetics in healthy children. Your child’s participation could help researchers understand why eating habits differ between families.
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
This study tests a program to help parents handle feeding their 4- or 5-year-old child who is very motivated by food. It aims to support healthy eating habits.
This research study explores how obesity and insulin sensitivity (how well your body processes sugar) affect how your brain makes decisions and processes rewards. You'll undergo brain imaging and blood tests to help scientists understand these connections.
