New Team Publications

As you know, our team is always busy writing! Check out their newest publications.

New Protocol Publication – Aim2Be

We are thrilled to share that the protocol for our our study titled “Does integration of health coaches improve adherence to an e-health lifestyle and behavioural intervention? A randomized controlled trial of LiGHT (Living Green, Healthy, and Thrifty)” now known as Aim2Be has been published in BMC Trials!

The publication, led by Louise Mâsse, describes the approach the team will use to test the efficacy of Aim2Be, a gamified app based on behavior change theory with health coaching to improve weight outcomes and lifestyle behaviors among children 10- to 17-years old with overweight or obesity versus their peers randomized into a waitlist control condition.

Other team members on this work include Jill Hamilton, Josephine Ho, Annick Buchholz, Katherine Morrison, and Geoff Ball.

Great work, team!

Severe Obesity & Global Developmental Delay Cases

Our surveillance study on severe obesity (SO) & global developmental delay (GDD) in preschool children with the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) is coming to an end on January 31, 2020.

If you are a pediatrician participating in the CPSP and have seen cases of SO and GDD between February 1, 2018 and January 31, 2020 please be sure to report it to the CPSP before January 31!

Happy Holidays!

As we look back on the past year, we want to acknowledge and thank all of you for your ongoing participation on Team ABC3. 2019 proved to be another productive and educational year! We wrapped up and published data from many of our studies, supported a number of trainees, and showcased our work provincially, nationally, and internationally. Although our focus for 2020 includes winding down our team’s research and completing end-of-grant KT activities, we look forward to continuing collaborations over the coming years.

Please accept our warmest wishes to you, your friends, and your families this Holiday Season.
