Summary
This proposal aims to test the initial feasibility and efficacy of a 10-week multidisciplinary pediatric weight management program among low-income Latino children, aged 5 to 11 years, from the Woodbridge, VA area. The following specific aims will be tested:
Detailed description
Specific Aim 1: To test the acceptability of a multidisciplinary group intervention targeted towards low-income Latino families with a child who is obese. Specific Aim 2: To test the effectiveness of the intervention by determining differences in behavioral changes (i.e. nutrition and physical activity habits), anthropometric (BMI-for-age, body fat) and clinical health outcomes (i.e. blood pressure, blood biomarkers) between children exposed to the intervention program vs. control children.

| BEHAVIORAL | Vidas Activas, famiLias saludablEs (VALE) | Families and Children allocated to the intervention will receive weekly group-based meetings over a 10-week period consisting of education and activities on healthy lifestyles. Graduate students/Research Assistants trained in nutrition, exercise and clinical psychology will lead the meetings. All activities will be culturally relevant (i.e. cooking healthy Latino recipes) and Spanish speaking students will be recruited to deliver the intervention. Participants will be involved on deciding activities and projects and while some sessions will meet as a family group with parents/guardians, others will meet separately. |
