Title: COPE/Healthy Lifestyles for Teens: A School-Based RCT
Brief Summary: The prevention and treatment of obesity and mental health disorders in adolescence are two major public health problems in the United States today. To address the increasing incidence and adverse health outcomes associated with both obesity and mental health problems, a theory-based 15 session intervention program entitled COPE (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment)/ Healthy Lifestyles TEEN(Thinking, Feeling, Emotions \& Exercise), will be delivered within high school health classes in order to improve the physical and mental health outcomes of 800 culturally diverse adolescents (14 to 16 years of age).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Teens who are under age 14 will be excluded because:

  * They are not likely to be enrolled in high school, and
  * They are unlikely to have sufficient cognitive development to benefit from the proposed intervention
* Teens who are over age 16 will be excluded for two key reasons:

  * We believe that the cognitive development of and social expectations for older teens requires a more complex and flexible intervention than that proposed, and
  * Teens need to be available for 12 month follow-up sessions (our pilot studies indicated that this becomes less likely once teens are old enough to leave/graduate from high school, emancipate from parents, and/or leave home).
