Stay In Treatment for Pediatric Weight Management
War of Attrition: Predicting Dropout From Pediatric Weight Management
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Attrition from pediatric weight management programs is unacceptably high, with dropout ranging from 27-73%. This project will utilize a model that predicts dropout from treatment, increasing its power and accuracy through a multi-site observational study. This will result in a powerful tool that will be used to decrease attrition from pediatric weight management, with the potential for widespread dissemination to improve treatment outcomes.
