Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether providing a parent-only group program before providing a parent and child group program works better than the parent and child group program alone.

Detailed description

The goal of this project is to determine if an adult intervention followed by a family-based program (iAmHealthy Parents First) will result in a larger percentage of weight loss in parents and children compared to solely a family-based program (iAmHealthy). Furthermore, the investigators aim to discover if administering iAmHealthy Parents First will improve dietary intake, physical activity, and weight-related quality of life among parents and children when compared to iAmHealthy. Parent/child dyads will be recruited from rural elementary schools, medical clinics, and organizations across Kansas and neighboring states.
