Study Summary
To date, approaches that show the most promise for preventing and/or reversing the course of childhood obesity involve the delivery of intensive lifestyle interventions within a family-based context, emphasizing the necessity of parental involvement and making changes in family routines and the home environment. Considering that the current demand for pediatric weight management programs far exceed availability, as well as the high attrition rates observed in such programs, there is a great need for more accessible and efficient means of delivering these interventions to reduce the burden of childhood obesity. The goal of this study is to understand whether text messaging and social media platforms can be leveraged to address the important issue of childhood obesity by engaging parent/guardians in one of these strategies, and whether these strategies produce similar outcomes. No existing study has compared these strategies head-to-head, and the investigators believe that this project will be instrumental in understanding the determinants of success in these strategies and allow us to collect sufficient intelligence to be able to deploy these meaningfully to patients as part of usual care.
Primary Outcome
We designed a scale for use in this study containing 8 questions on each of the family routines that we assessed (i.e., nutrition, frequency of family meals, child's screen time, bedtime routines, physical activity, and sleep hours). Each of the eight questions were assigned one point value. The scale was summative such that the lowest possible score was 0 and highest possible score was 8, from adding up scores to all eight questions. Higher scores indicated a better outcome.
Interventions
- OTHER Physical Activity
- BEHAVIORAL Evidence-based information on healthy family routines
