Reporting Groups
  Description
Behavioral Program This is a long term randomized controlled study looking at the effect of a Behavioral program on BMI in a population 10-20years old with a BMI greater than or equal to 85%. The intervention group attends a monthly 4 hour session which incorporates exercise, education, empowerment and incentives. Both groups are referred to a dietician. The primary outcome is change in BMI and the secondary outcome is improvement in fasting metabolic parameters (lipid panel, insulin, glucose).
Standard of Care/Control Standard of Care/control group received visits to the primary care provider and a referral to a nutritionist

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
A limitation of the study is the lost to follow up. However, our rate of lost to follow up is comparable to rates seen in similar studies in this field
