A parallel-group randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a school-based, nurse-led healthy weight management afterschool program on children’s weight, a key predictor of adult cardiovascular health.

A study statistician generated the randomization schedule using the sequence A, B, B, A, A for every five participants. Table 1 shows baseline demographic characteristics by group.
