Letter to the editor: "The recruitment of adolescents with obesity to a randomised controlled trial: A fast track to health sub-study".
We read with great interest the article by House et al. detailing recruitment strategies for the Fast Track to Health trial, which evaluated intermittent versus continuous energy restriction in adolescents with obesity and cardiometabolic complications [1]. The study provides valuable insight into recruitment yields across varied referral sources, highlighting the dominant role of specialist referrals (21.2 % enrolment yield) in successful engagement. While the authors have underscored the utility of specialist engagement, the findings also expose a structural gap: underutilisation of primary care and community-based channels.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.
