ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

Elements Vital to Treat Obesity Study

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the first rigorously optimized, remotely delivered treatment for obesity against the current gold standard treatment in a head-to-head randomized controlled trial. The investigators will be comparing the previously developed and optimized behavioral weight loss intervention (APP) to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), to evaluate program weight-loss success and cost-effectiveness.

Official Title
