Project REACH

Project REACH is an NIH-funded trial of a new healthy lifestyle program for teens ages 14-18. The study involves four months of virtual group sessions (held over Zoom), in which teens will learn skills to improve their diets, lose weight, increase their physical activity, and lead a healthier and happier life overall. Groups will be made of 5-10 participants and two lifestyle science experts who will lead the group discussions.

Project REACH also involves assessments intended to see how effective the group treatment sessions are. These assessments will occur before group treatment begins, halfway through treatment, at the end of treatment, and at 6 and 12 months after the treatment is completed.

Group sessions and assessments will take place over videoconference (Zoom). We are recruiting participants from anywhere in the U.S. to participate.

What to expect

• Recruiting participants throughout the U.S.
• 4 months of virtual small group Zoom sessions
• 2 lifestyle science experts leading groups
• Periodic assessments throughout treatment
• Follow-up assessments at 6- and-12 months after completed treatment
