TRUST Study of Adolescent Weight Self-Management

The TRUST intervention will be guided by Rotenberg's Framework of Interpersonal Trust 3. The TRUST group will meet with an interventionist trained in weight self-management for eight 90-minute weekly sessions. Each session will include adolescent/parent trust-building exercises (honesty, reliability, emotional connection), didactic content, experiential skills developing (nutrition label reading), behavior-change goal-setting, and problem-solving.

Single meeting with a Nutritionist for physical activity and eating counseling.
