PHPhase2 Trial Summary

This trial tests a program to reduce unhealthy weight gain, & prevent eating disorder symptoms, in 17-20 year olds with weight concerns. Results will inform broader implementation.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for 17-20 year olds who are concerned about their weight, believe they can improve their diet and exercise habits, and have a BMI between 20 to 30. It's not for those with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or past participants in Project Health studies.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if a dissonance-based obesity prevention program combined with food response training beats an educational video at preventing weight gain. Participants will be randomly placed into groups and followed up over a year.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience psychological discomfort from the discussions.
