What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the SickKids Team Obesity Management Program (STOMP), which provides interdisciplinary care for children and adolescents with severe obesity. The program focuses on assessing patient outcomes, including anthropometric, metabolic, and psychosocial factors, while also measuring care coordination and satisfaction. Participants' outcomes will be compared to baseline data and a control group of interested patients who did not enroll in the program. The study aims to fill the gap in literature regarding the effectiveness of clinical interventions for severely obese pediatric patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life for children and adolescents struggling with obesity.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown significant benefits from interdisciplinary programs for managing obesity in pediatric populations, suggesting potential success for this approach.
