摘要
There are few successful adolescent obesity prevention programs. We evaluated "Energy Up," an innovative program for inner-city girls that focuses on addictive food avoidance, exercise, and self-esteem building. Over a 9-month period, obese participants lost 12.9 pounds and overweight participants lost 2.9 pounds, prompting expansion to other schools. (c) 2007 Society for Adolescent Medicine.
