Reducing Barriers to Lifestyle Modification for Newly Diagnosed MASLD

Sponsor: Stanford University

Summary

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common cause of liver disease in the world. It is estimated that 38% of American children with obesity have steatotic liver disease. Patients of Hispanic ethnicity are disproportionately at risk of developing MASLD. This study intends to provide insight to barriers of recommended care for pediatric patients with Hispanic ethnicity and a new diagnosis of MASLD. The investigators propose to augment existing structural barriers related to health literacy, food accessibility and dietary knowledge, and access to safe physical activity through a healthy lifestyle toolkit and individualized nutritional counseling.
