Study Summary
Recommendations for treatment of childhood obesity in a primary care setting have been developed. These recommendations include beginning treatment with young children, focusing treatment on the parent so the parent can assist the child in making changes, and changing 2 or 3 very specific eating or activity behaviors (i.e., eat less snacks, rather than eat less calories). The effectiveness of these recommendations has never been evaluated. This project's goal is to develop, implement, and evaluate a 6-month childhood obesity intervention meeting these recommendations. Another goal of the project is to compare two different approaches, focusing on either decreasing intake of two unhealthy foods or increasing intake of two healthy foods, for changing eating behaviors during treatment. Two hundred ten children, between the ages of 4 to 9 years, who are at risk for overweight or overweight, based upon weight and height standards, will be randomized to one of three treatments: 1) a Newsletter treatment (provided with information on healthy eating only); 2) a Parent Program that decreases intake of sweet/salty snack foods (\< 3 servings/week) and sweetened drinks (\< 3 servings/week); or 3) a Parent Program that increases intake of fruits and vegetables (5 servings/day) and low-fat dairy products (2 servings/day). Children's height and weight will be measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. This project will determine if the recommendations for treatment are effective, and if focusing on decreasing intake of unhealthy foods or increasing intake of healthy foods produces a better long-term weight loss outcome.
