Project CLUEE
 

                 

              Is the FRESHMEN 15 a MYTH or REALITY?

 

 

 

           Project CLUEE (College Life:  Understanding Eating and Exercise)

This study is designed to examine whether college freshmen actually gain the 

mythical "Freshmen 15" and, if so, what factors lead to this weight gain.  College  

Freshmen at a local university are enrolled in this National Institutes of Health-

funded study through their freshmen year and provide height, weight and

information on diet, physical activity, alcohol intake, and other variables related to 

the college experience.

This information will then be used to develop a treatment program geared toward assisting college students in reducing their likelihood of gaining weight during the college years.
