THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on June 29,2023. Consortium made up of five clinical centers and a data coordinating center. The goal of Teen-LABS is to conduct clinical, epidemiological, and behavioral research in adolescent bariatric surgery, through an observational prospective study protocol. Teen-LABS is an ancillary study to LABS, an observational study of adult bariatric surgery. Research staff, certified in standardized uniform data collection according to the protocol, collect data at pre-operative research visits, at surgery, 30 days and six months post-operative, and annual post-operative research visits at the five participating centers.

http://psychology-tools.com/binge-eating-scale/

A 16 item questionnaire used to assess the presence of binge eating behavior indicative of an eating disorder that was devised specifically for use with obese individuals. The questions are based upon both behavioral characteristics (e.g., amount of food consumed) and the emotional, cognitive response, guilt or shame. Each question has 3-4 separate responses assigned a numerical value. The score range is from 0-46: * < 17 Non-Binging * 18-26 Moderate Binging * 27 and greater Severe Binging (Adapted from Wikipedia)

https://portal.bsc.gwu.edu/web/lifemoms

A consortium whose overall goal is to identify effective behavioral and lifestyle interventions that will improve weight, glycemic control and other pregnancy-related outcomes in obese and overweight pregnant women, and determine whether these interventions reduce obesity and metabolic abnormalities in their children. The study/consortium is comprised of seven clinical centers, with each clinical center conducting its own trial. Additional information on the consortium and individual trials is located in the Consortium Summaries tab.
