Katelyn Fox PhD, RD
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center
The Miriam Hospital & Alpert Medical School of Brown University
Researchers at the Miriam Hospital are conducting a research study to help teens increase healthy lifestyle behaviors around eating and exercise with a program called HealthTRAC.
I am a research fellow at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center of The Miriam Hospital and Brown University. I am reaching out to let you know of an NIH-funded research study that we are currently recruiting for that involves a free evidence-based service for teens with obesity in Washington County.
We are currently recruiting adolescents with obesity to participate in a trial to examine the effectiveness of an intensive health behavior and lifestyle program that teaches emotional regulation skills compared to a standard program. Both the intervention and control in the study are groups of 6-10 teens led by a registered dietitian and clinical psychologist that meet weekly, in person for 12 weeks followed by monthly virtual (Zoom) groups. We have been running groups in our Providence location but were recently approved to run a group in Westerly! The intervention is provided at no cost to families, and teens and caregivers receive compensation for completing assessments.
