Summary

An observational study ancillary to the randomized clinical trial (RCT) TEENS+ (R01HD095910), a family-based lifestyle intervention, for adolescents with obesity, to determine: 1) if family-wide changes to the shared home environment are implemented, 2) if ripple effects to untreated family members are observed, and 3) whether these changes are predictive of adolescents' weight management success. Funding support from NIH via R21HD105906.

Detailed description

Investigators will recruit non-targeted children (8-17yrs) and caregivers living in the same household as the target TEENS+ parent/adolescent dyad. At 0, 2, 4 and 8m, the target adolescent/parent dyad (n=60), and non-targeted children and caregivers will complete anthropometric assessments, and measures of the shared home feeding and weight-related environment will be conducted.

Conditions

• Pediatric Obesity
