UNC Teen Weight Loss Study

The UNC Weight Research Program is conducting a research study to help overweight teenage girls to lose weight. During the 8-session (4 month) study, participants will receive treatment to assist in weight loss at no cost and $15 for completing study related assessments.

We all know adolescence is an important time to intervene because over the past two decades the rates of overweight among teens have continued to grow; currently, 1 out of 3 adolescents is overweight or obese and often parents do not know how to help their teen.
