Summary

The purpose of the study is to examine the extent to which two different reward systems implemented in the context of a multi-family pediatric weight management group differentially promote adoption of healthy eating and activity habits among overweight and obese 8-17 year old youth. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two reward conditions: rewards for attendance only or rewards for attendance and goal attainment. We hypothesize that all participants will demonstrate significant increases in healthy nutritional choices and physical activity and significant reductions in sedentary activity from pre-intervention to post intervention. We expect that participants in attendance plus goal attainment reward condition will demonstrate significantly greater improvements than participants in the attendance only condition.
