Summary

The objective of this study is to test and evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-only treatment for childhood obesity. This study provides state-of-the-art treatment for childhood obesity. Parents and children will participate in treatment groups for 6 months. These treatment groups include recommendations to decrease overall caloric intake (by increasing fruits and vegetables), increasing physical activity, decreasing sedentary behavior and changing the home food environment. We are currently implementing this treatment in the Healthy Choices Program which is part of the Childhood Obesity Clinic at the University of Minnesota. Len Epstein at the University of Buffalo has been publishing on this treatment protocol for 30 years.
