The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test a telehealth behavioral weight control intervention for adolescents from a low-income background that combines facets of mindfulness training with behavioral weight control. We aim to examine biological (e.g., weight) and behavioral (e.g., emotional eating, mindfulness) changes as a result of a 12-session mindfulness-based weight control intervention compared to a 12-session standard behavioral weight control intervention.
