Role of Dual-Contingency Management in Family-Based Obesity Therapy and the Effects of Weight Loss on Liver Transient Elastography Parameters in Youth: A Pilot Study
Abstract:The pilot study evaluated contingency management (CM) for family-based obesity therapy (FBT). The secondary outcome assessed the association of the hepatic transient electrography (TE) parameters, including the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness (LSM), and changes in liver function blood tests and BMI changes in youth involved in intensive FBT. It included youth-parent dyads from an urban pediatric center randomized to weekly behavioral therapy (BT, n= 4) who received fixed financial co… Show more
