| Abstract |
The HEALTHY trial was designed to take a primary prevention approach to risk factors for type 2 diabetes in youth, primarily obesity. The study involved over 6,000 students at 42 middle schools across the U.S. Half received an integrated intervention program of components addressing the school food environment, physical education, lifestyle behaviors, and promotional messaging. The intervention was designed to be more comprehensive than previous efforts, and the research was amply funded. Although the primary objective of reducing the percentage of overweight and obesity in schools that received the intervention program, as compared with control schools, was not obtained, key secondary outcomes indicated an intervention effect. In retrospect, senior investigators involved in the study's design, conduct, and analysis discuss weaknesses and strengths and offer recommendations for future research efforts that address prevention of childhood obesity from a public health perspective. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2017.
All research outputs
#7,417,753
of 22,681,577 outputs
Outputs from Current Diabetes Reports
#388
of 1,005 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,659
of 172,686 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Diabetes Reports
#11
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,681,577 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,005 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 172,686 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
