Abstract
Clinical research involving children and adolescents with obesity is challenging due to recruitment, transportation barriers, parents/guardians working multiple jobs and the need to coordinate the schedule of the participant and the parent/guardian. We describe recruitment efforts and successes for a longitudinal observational study of adolescents with obesity.
