RecruitingClinical trial
Self-Weighing for Adolescents Seeking Obesity Treatment
99 patients age 12 to \<18 years old with obesity (BMI \>/=95th percentile), will be randomized to one of three treatment interventions:
1. Usual Care
2. Usual Care plus advice to weigh daily on simple scale
3. Usual Care plus advice to weigh-daily on an EHR-connected scale
Survey data collected at baseline, 2, 4, 6, and 12-weeks, and qualitative interviews at 12 weeks, will assess acceptability, safety, self-efficacy, and BMI. Recruitment will also be assessed (% eligible patients who consent). In order to understand real-world feasibility of this intervention, the clinic staff will work with patients to connect the scales to Epic.
