The present study was a secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine change in depressive symptoms and eating-related cognitions in teens who participated in a non-clinic-based adolescent behavioral weight control treatment delivered by YMCA coaches. Differences in intervention effects were also examined by sex. Adolescents (N=66; 13-17 years; 60.6% female) with overweight (10.6%) or obesity (53.0% with severe obesity) participated in an RCT comparing two versions of an evidence-based intervention. Adolescents completed measures of eating-related cognitions (Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire) and depressive symptoms (Children’s Depressive Inventory-2) at baseline and end of active treatment (16 weeks). There were no significant effects of group, time, or group by time interaction for depressive symptoms, global eating-related cognitions, dietary restraint, or eating concerns (ps >.05). Shape concerns (p=.04) and weight concerns (p=.02) significantly decreased over the intervention. Significant interactions between sex and time on global eating-related cognitions (p<.001), eating (p=.002), shape (p=.02), and weight concerns (p=.004), were detected, such that females’ scores decreased over the course of the treatment, but males’ scores did not. Results demonstrate some positive and no detrimental effects of a non-clinic based behavioral weight control intervention on adolescents’ eating-related cognitions and depressive symptoms. Findings may mitigate concerns that dissemination of structured, non-clinic-based weight management programs for adolescents will produce negative eating and mood outcomes; however, replication of results in larger trials is needed.
