Community-based programs are needed to improve dissemination of efficacious treatment for adolescent obesity. The current study aims to modify a community-based program, delivered through the YMCA, to increase its effectiveness with adolescents. Adolescents will be randomized to either a 16-week standard program (JOIN) or a targeted intervention tailored for adolescents (TEEN JOIN). Primary outcomes include changes in BMI, objectively measured physical activity, and self-efficacy, assessed at 4 months and 10 months following randomization.

The JOIN for ME curriculum includes 16 weekly in person sessions followed by 4 biweekly and 4 monthly maintenance sessions for a 10-month program.

Parents attend group at weeks 1, 2 and 16 with their teen.
Similar to the JOIN FOR ME condition, adolescents in the TEEN JOIN condition attend 16 weekly in person sessions followed by 4 biweekly and 4 monthly maintenance sessions for a 10-month program. Interventions include behavioral weight control, group-based physical activity, and group-based incentives. Parents attend separate meetings at weeks 1, 2, and 16.
