Stanford GEMS phase 2 obesity prevention trial for low-income African-American girls: design and sample baseline characteristics.
Contemp Clin Trials. 2008; (1): 56-69
African-American girls and women are at high risk of obesity and its associated morbidities. Few studies have tested obesity prevention strategies specifically designed for African-American girls. This report describes the design and baseline findings of the Stanford GEMS (Girls health Enrichment Multi-site Studies) trial to test the effect of a two-year community- and family-based intervention to reduce weight gain in low-income, pre-adolescent African-American girls.
