IMPROVE is an implementation study aiming to explore the effects of two bundled implementation strategies on the intervention fidelity of the Healthy School Start program (primary outcome) while simultaneously monitoring effects on health outcomes of children and parents (secondary outcomes). Thirty schools in two municipalities will receive the HSS program reaching about 1400 families per school year, for two years.

Treatment Efforts Addressing Child Weight Management by Unifying Patients, Parents & Providers

ObesityChildhood12 more

The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that providers screen children aged 6 years and older for obesity and offer or refer them to a comprehensive behavioral intervention (≥26 hours over a period of up to 12 months) to promote improvement in weight status. Family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) is an effective treatment that targets both child and parents and meets the USPSTF recommendations. By contrast, the American Medical Association (AMA) recommends a staged approach to childhood obesity screening and counseling, which begins with prevention counseling by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes assessment of weight status, patient/family motivation and readiness to change, promotion of healthy eating and activity habits, and use of health behavior change strategies. Our study compares a staged approach enhanced standard of care (eSOC) vs. eSOC + FBT, to provide families and PCPs with information on the best intervention approach for the behavioral treatment of childhood obesity. Our project seeks to fill the gap in the evidence on family-based weight management in primary care settings among diverse and underserved populations with a special focus on Black children, families insured by Medicaid, and sex differences.

The Extension of HAPO Follow-up Study

HyperglycemiaPregnancy6 more

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) escalate remarkably worldwide and obesity becomes an epidemic disease. This study is interested in how the model of Developmental Origin of Health and Disease (DOHaD) influence individual's health status as they reach young adulthood. Since the mothers from HAPO study have not been subjected to antenatal treatment on the various degree of maternal hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, this would be an unique cohort that allows determination of the effect of various degree of maternal hyperglycaemia below the level of overt DM, on children's cardiometabolic risk in Chinese population.

Promoting Food Acceptance Through Positive Parenting: the Play and Grow Study

ObesityChildhood6 more

Approximately one half of adults and one-fifth of children have obesity, including 14% of 2-5-year-olds. Early obesity prevention is essential as children who are overweight by age 5 are at increased risk for later obesity. Dietary intake is inextricably linked to weight status, and the majority of young children fail to meet intake recommendations, with socioeconomically disadvantaged and racial/ethnic minority children at increased risk of poor diet quality. However, children's liking of healthier foods predicts their intake, and children can learn to like healthier foods via experience. The current study brings together evidence from the parenting and learning literatures to: 1) examine effects of a novel learning strategy leveraging positive parent-child interactions on 3-5-year-old children's vegetable acceptance and dietary intake, as well as to explore 2) individual differences in learning strategy effects.

The Food Intake Phenotype: Assessing Eating Behavior and Food Preferences as Risk Factors for Obesity...

ObesityOverweight1 more

The prevalence of obesity in the United States has reached alarming proportions with 33% of adults over the age of 20 being overweight. Obesity is more than twice as prevalent, however, in the Pima Indians of Arizona. Although there have been a number of advances in our understanding of the genetics of obesity, the environmental influences on the genetic expression of obesity requires further investigation. In an effort to understand some of the influences on the high prevalence of obesity in the Pima Indians, the present study was designed to investigate eating behaviors and food preferences, most especially the preference for high fat foods, in sib-pairs of Pima Indians who have been previously genotyped in our genomic scan for loci linked to diabetes/obesity. Most specifically, we will utilize several questionnaires and methods of assessing eating behavior and the preference for high fat foods to create a food intake phenotype. In addition, we will study Caucasians so that comparisons can be made between these two groups. We will make these evaluations by assessing eating behavior, food preferences including usual fat intake and preferences for high fat foods, body image perceptions, and energy expenditure. It is hoped that the data gathered from this study will elucidate some of the risk factors for the development of obesity among the Pima Indians.
