Study Summary
Child overweight has become one of today's most important public health concerns. Engaged and skilled parenting that models, values, and encourages healthy eating habits and a physically active lifestyle can play a key role in childhood overweight prevention and reduction. Primary care providers are well positioned to intervene with children and their parents, but face many barriers in addressing child overweight. A child overweight treatment approach is proposed for the primary care setting to facilitate parents' active involvement and self-efficacy in promoting healthy eating habits and physical activity for their children. We will test the following hypotheses: Hypothesis I (primary hypothesis): Children assigned to the intervention group will improve more in weight status (measured by BMI percentile) than children in the control group. Hypothesis II: Primary care providers assigned to the intervention group will improve more in their competence in addressing child overweight than the providers in the control group. Hypothesis III: After the intervention, parents in the intervention group will have more involvement and self-efficacy in promoting healthy weight for their children than parents in the control group. Hypothesis IV: Compared to the control group, the intervention group will improve more in family diet and eating, physical activity behaviors, as well as parental attitude and beliefs. Eighty children five to eleven years old who are overweight or obese will be recruited from two pediatric and two family practice clinics in southern Appalachia. Children will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups based on clinic affiliation. Parents of children in the intervention group will participate in four clinic-based group sessions using the NIH We Can! curriculum moderated by a trained clinic provider, two individual brief motivational interviewing visits with their clinic provider, and four follow-up phone calls with the project coordinator or r
