Summary
This trial tests Conversation Cards for Adolescents (CCAs) to help teens with obesity and their doctors discuss and set goals for healthier lifestyles. The cards aim to make it easier for teens to talk about their challenges and work together on a plan for better habits. CCAs were created as a patient-centered communication and behavior change tool for adolescents and providers to use in clinical practice.
