Lifestyle Counseling and Medication for Adolescent Weight Management

Recruiting

This study will compare the effectiveness and durability of intensive behavioral counseling vs. medical management plus low-intensity behavioral counseling on BMI, body fat, cardiometabolic risk factors, and quality of life in adolescents with severe obesity. We hypothesize that liraglutide plus low-intensity behavioral counseling will elicit superior reductions in BMI (primary efficacy endpoint) and body fat and greater improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors and quality of life compared to intensive behavioral counseling at 56 weeks.
