This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The Dose Trial is testing different amounts of weight management support for children with obesity. Your child would receive help from doctors, dietitians, and social workers—but the study wants to know if kids improve just as much with fewer counseling hours as they do with the current recommended 26 hours. Everyone gets the same basic support; the main difference is how many one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions your child receives.
Current guidelines say kids with obesity need at least 26 hours of intensive counseling, but that's hard for families and healthcare systems to provide. This study aims to find out whether fewer hours can still help kids reach healthier weights, making treatment more realistic and accessible for families.

Over 12 months, your child would have 4 visits with their regular pediatrician, complete online learning modules about healthy eating and activity at your own pace, meet with a social worker for community resource planning, and receive personalized nutrition counseling from a registered dietitian. The number of dietitian sessions varies by group (ranging from 6 to 16 sessions), but all participants receive the same doctor visits, online modules, and social worker support. The study measures your child's weight and health at the beginning and end to see which approach works best.
