Healthy Together ("Juntos") for Hispanic Adolescents with Obesity
This study is testing a family-based digital program called Healthy Together ("Juntos"). This program uses smartphones and a secure website to teach healthy lifestyle behaviors to both parents and adolescents. The goal is to see if Healthy Together can help prevent increases in Body Mass Index (BMI), improve physical activity, and improve diet quality in Hispanic adolescents aged 12 to 15 years old. To join, adolescents must live with a parent or guardian, identify as Hispanic, have a smartphone, and not meet physical activity recommendations. The study aims to enroll 750 participants and will measure changes in adolescent BMI over 12 months to see if the program is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.
