  1. Feasibility and Acceptability of a Pediatric Referral to Summer Day Camps to Treat Obesity in Children From Low-Income Households

    Children from low-income households have a 25-30% higher prevalence of OWOB compared to their higher-income peers. The lack of feasible and effective treatments to address obesity in children with OWOB and from low-income household's points to a real need for prioritization and urgency. The U.S. Pr…

How to read this page. Every study here comes from ClinicalTrials.gov, the public registry that research teams are required to file with. We have summarised each one in plain language and shown where it is running. We have not changed what any study says it is doing.

What TrialBoost is. We help people find research that might suit them, and, if they ask us to, we pass their details to the research team running it. We are not a doctor, a research site, or a study sponsor, and we do not decide who takes part in anything. Joining costs nothing and you can change your mind at any point.

Paid placement. Some studies pay us when someone asks to be connected to them. Those are labelled Sponsored wherever they appear, and they only appear when they match what you were actually looking for.
