Study Summary
Obesity is one of the most prevalent medical problems facing children and adolescents today, particularly among African American adolescents where the rate is alarmingly high. This study will test the effectiveness of FIT Families, a multicomponent family-based behavioral intervention that is culturally tailored to meet the unique needs of African American adolescents with obesity and their caregivers, against a credible attention control condition. This study has considerable public health relevance because it is delivered by Community Health Workers, maximizing the potential for the intervention to be sustained, and may reduce obesity-related health problems for a vulnerable population of adolescents.
Primary Outcome
Percent of body fat is measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). In BIA measurement, a very weak electronic current is passed through the body by means of four electrodes placed on the dorsal surface of the hand and foot
