Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
The nutrition and enjoyable activity for teen girls study: a cluster randomized controlled trial.
Obesity prevention among youth of low SES is a public health priority given the higher prevalence of youth obesity in this population subgroup. ⋯ The NEAT Girls intervention did not result in effects on the primary outcome. Further study of youth who are "at risk" of obesity should focus on strategies to improve retention and adherence in prevention programs.

One-year follow-up of a coach-delivered dating violence prevention program: a cluster randomized controlled trial.
Perpetration of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse is prevalent in adolescent relationships. One strategy for reducing such violence is to increase the likelihood that youth will intervene when they see peers engaging in disrespectful and abusive behaviors. ⋯ This school athletics-based dating violence prevention program is a promising approach to reduce perpetration and negative bystander behaviors that condone dating violence among male athletes.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Promoting colorectal cancer screening discussion: a randomized controlled trial.
Provider recommendation is a predictor of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. ⋯ The computer-delivered tailored intervention was more effective than a nontailored brochure at stimulating patient-provider discussions about CRC screening. Those who received the computer-delivered intervention also were more likely to have a CRC screening test (fecal occult blood test or colonoscopy) ordered by their PCP.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Overweight and obesity prevention for adolescents: a cluster randomized controlled trial in a school setting.
Given the increasing prevalence of obesity among youth over the past decade, prevention has become an international public health priority. ⋯ Although the screening and care strategy is an effective way to prevent, at 2 years, overweight and obesity among adolescents in a high school setting, its effects over and above no strategy intervention were small.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Aid-assisted decision making and colorectal cancer screening: a randomized controlled trial.
Shared decision making (SDM) is a widely recommended yet unproven strategy for increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake. Previous trials of decision aids to increase SDM and CRC screening uptake have yielded mixed results. ⋯ Decision aid-assisted SDM has a modest impact on CRC screening uptake. A decision aid plus personalized risk assessment tool is no more effective than a decision aid alone.
