Study Summary

This study is a 3 arm, randomized, parallel group randomized clinical trial to test a clinic and home family behavioral intervention (LAUNCH) against 1) motivational interviewing (attention control; MI) and 2) standard of care (true standard of care control; STC) with 168 children ages 2 to 5 years who meet the criteria for obesity (\>95th percentile for body mass index; BMI). Participants will be randomized to receive a 6 month intervention (LAUNCH, MI) or standard of care. The primary end-point will be change in BMI z-score at the end of treatment. The investigators will also assess maintenance of treatment gains at 6 and 12 months after treatment, and changes in factors thought to be mechanisms for change in weight (food intake and activity level), changes in the obesiogenic environment (parent weight, food intake and activity, and changes in the home food environment) and factors that could be negatively impacted (parent and child eating and feeding interactions).
