Effectiveness of Tailored Multichannel Interventions on Weight Loss Among Adolescents: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
overweight among adolescents is a public health issue. However, several weight loss interventions were developed and conducted for adolescents. These interventions are often not adequately tailored to the needs of this vulnerable target group. Besides, these interventions proposed one channel is adequate to deliver the message to adolescents. The proposed study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of tailored multichannel interventions on weight loss among adolescents. The proposed study is a prospective, cluster-randomized controlled trial. 279 adolescents will be recruited from 8 non-medical colleges in Mansoura University. The 8 colleges will be randomly assigned to 4 colleges for the tailored multichannel nursing intervention or 4 colleges as a control group. For intervention participants, the tailor-based intervention will be designed and guided by a health belief model and take into evidence-based recommendations. The intervention will be designed by a multidisciplinary team and will be administered by 8 nurses for 5 months, including five face-to-face school meetings, five school-based telephone calls, and five WhatsApp text messages. Control group participants will receive 2 non-tailored face-to-face sessions. The primary outcome is the mean difference in weight loss between groups. The proposed study hypothesizes that the participants who will receive tailored multichannel intervention will lose significantly more weight (Body Mass Index) compared with the control group. Secondary outcomes include a health belief model.
