Recruitment & Eligibility

• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 40

Inclusion Criteria

1. Aged 12-18 years
2. Male and female
3. BMI between 98th centile and 45kg/m2

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects with significant mental health problems or undergoing mental health treatment
2. Other chronic illness, monogenic obesity syndrome or use of medications known to promote obesity
3. Patients who have signs or symptoms which require them to have immediate investigations, e.g. diabetes
4. Participants with significant learning disability or lack of command of English sufficient to render them unable to participate effectively in the planned intervention. The great majority of eligible young people from black or minority ethnic groups in this population have good command of English. Given the importance of standardising the intervention, it will not be possible to use interpreters to enable parents with poor English to participate. We will ensure that the external validity of the study is maintained by allowing another relative with good English to participate
5. BMI>45 kg/m2 as they are unlikely to respond to lifestyle changes alone
6. Participants who have been involved in a weight management research program greater than 12 months previously will be eligible but those who are actively involved in a weight management program will be excluded
