This study evaluates if usual physical care visits to an outpatient pediatric clinic can be replaced with more frequent and shorter Telephone coaching Contacts during 18 months.
In this randomized controlled study, patients at age 5 to 14 and enrolled in obesity treatment, were randomized to either usual care according to regular routine or to telephone consultation.The randomization was done at the start of individual treatment and lasted for 18 months. We also studied working time required for the Health care, and the families' experience of the Telephone coaching.
