Summary

This trial is testing whether a novel obesity prevention program is more effective when done in single-sex versus mixed-sex groups, and whether adding food response and attention training increases weight gain prevention effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for late adolescents with a BMI between 20 and 30 who are moderately to extremely concerned about their weight. It's not open to individuals diagnosed with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder.
What is being tested?
The study tests a dissonance-based obesity prevention program in single- vs mixed-sex groups and adds food response and attention training. The goal is to see if these methods can prevent weight gain more effectively.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this isn't a drug trial but rather a behavioral intervention, typical medication side effects aren't expected. Participants may experience discomfort from discussing weight concerns or changing dietary habits.
