Studies

FamilyView

The FamilyView Study focuses on life among children and adolescents who are overweight and pursuing weight management intervention. The main purpose of this study is to develop meaningful health-related quality of life questionnaires for youth who are overweight. We would also like to better understand how parents view their own quality of life and the typical day-to-day stressors they experience in their parenting role.  Co-Investigator: Meg Zeller, PhD.
