Actual (reported)Obesity occurs more frequently in subjects of a lower socioeconomic status and is associated with a lower income and unemployment. On the other hand, there is limited access of individuals with low socioeconomic status to conventional obesity treatments and bariatric surgery. In STEREOplus the investigators will ascertain unemployed adolescents with obesity and extreme obesity at five job centers in the Ruhr area. Unemployed obese youths and young adults (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) between the ages of 14 and 24.9 years are eligible to participate. Participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires on their general health, psychosocial situation and wellbeing, and will be offered a thorough medical evaluation. Individuals who complete the baseline evaluations will be invited to participate in six group sessions of conventional obesity treatment over a three months period. After six months, participants will complete further questionnaires to evaluate the effects of the interventions on quality of life and psychosocial functioning. Weight status (BMI) will also be measured. Adolescents who attended at least five sessions and are interested in bariatric surgery will have access to a structured information and preparation program for bariatric surgery. The overall objective of STEREOplus is to generate data on the feasibility of the planned implementation of a treatment targeted to a high risk group with a low socioeconomic background in order to reduce treatment barriers.
