Completed

• Conditions: Eating Behavior; Adolescent Obesity; Dietary Intake

• Registration Number: NCT00721838
• Lead Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

Brief Summary

to study the dietary intake and eating behaviors of adolescents who undergo bariatric surgery

Detailed Description

The dietary and eating behavior outcomes for adolescents who undergo bariatric surgery are virtually unknown. The main trial of the Teen-LABS consortium is not studying dietary intake and eating behavior before and after bariatric surgery. The consortium, however, provides a unique opportunity to investigate these issues in a large and diverse sample through the context of the proposed ancillary study.
