Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from the Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) Adolescent Medicine Outpatient Program and from the community via flyers, internet postings, and newspaper advertisements. Enrollment began September 1, 2008 and ended March 18, 2011.

Healthy adolescents, ages 11-19 years, were eligible if clinically healthy, likely to comply with treatment, and not vitamin D deficient. Fifty-six patients were enrolled, and two patients were randomized to a treatment group but did not complete a baseline visit and therefore are not included in the analysis.
