ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on finding better ways to help children and teenagers in Beijing who are dealing with depression and obesity. These two issues often occur together and can significantly affect a young person's health. The researchers want to create a comprehensive plan that combines different strategies to prevent and treat both conditions at the same time. They will be using a digital platform to reach students and their families, making it easier for them to access support and resources.

To be part of this study, students must be middle schoolers living in specific areas of Beijing, and they or their guardians need to agree to participate by signing a consent form. The trial will first screen students to find those at high risk for depression (with a specific score on a depression checklist) and obesity (based on their weight compared to their height). Participants will receive support tailored to their needs, and the aim is to create a model that can be used in other places to help more young people across the country. This research is part of a larger effort to improve health for children and adolescents in China by 2030.
