Summary
The percentage of overweight children between the ages of 6 and 11 has nearly tripled in the last three decades, and rates are even higher among African Americans.Overweight children are at-risk for numerous health problems, thus effective treatments are urgently needed. This study will evaluate an innovative intervention for ethnically diverse parents (NOURISH), which focuses on helping parents role model and teach their children healthy behaviors.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- To qualify for participation, parents/caregivers must have a child between the ages of 6 and 11 with a BMI > the 85th percentile [128].
- This child must also primarily reside in the participating caregiver's home.
- Participants also need to speak English fluently, and be able to understand and follow basic instructions and perform simple exercises.
Exclusion Criteria
- Caregivers are ineligible if they are:
- non-ambulatory,
- pregnant,
- or have a clinical diagnosis that may be negatively impacted by exercise.
- Parents whose children have a medical condition or developmental disorder that precludes weight loss using conventional diet and exercise methods are also ineligible for participation.
All parents meeting study criteria will be offered participation in the randomized trial comparing NOURISH with a control group.
