Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Immediate Treatment Group

The immediate treatment group starts the 5-month treatment right after baseline assessment.

OTHER

Delayed Treatment Group

The delayed treatment group does not start treatment immediately after the baseline assessment. This group serves as the control group, by not receiving any treatment for 5 months. After the 5 months, the delayed group participants are asked to come in for a second assessment that involves completion of surveys and measurement of height, weight, and physical activity level. After this assessment is completed, the delayed group participants can begin the 5-month treatment.
