Summary

A randomized study is proposed to determine effects of 8 weeks of an interactive multimedia educational program compared to waiting list control group on improving health and weight status in Chinese-American children, ages 8 and 10, over a 6 months period. A total of 60 Chinese-American children and their families will be randomized to either the intervention group or waiting list control group. The intervention is based on Social Cognitive Theory and principles of Chinese culture and practices. The intervention program includes a one-hour small-group session for eight weeks for children and two 2-hour small-group sessions for parents. Baseline data will be collected before assigning the children to the intervention or control group. Follow-up data will be collected immediately after the intervention and 3 months and 6-months post intervention. A repeated measures (longitudinal) design employing a linear mixed models approach will be used for analysis.
