Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ideas Moving Parents and Adolescents to Change Together (IMPACT) (NCT NCT01514279)

NCT ID: NCT01514279

Last Updated: 2020-08-25

Results Overview

BMI slope (trajectory over 3 years) was created for each participant with outcomes multiply imputed for children without BMI values post-baseline. An F test with two numerator degrees of freedom was used to test for between-group differences using an alpha of .05.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited between May 2012 and January 2014 as part of an existing BMI and blood pressure screening program in the local school district. Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 intervention study arms within 37 days of the baseline clinical visit once recruited.

The results reflect the annualized change in adolescent sleep wake scale and pediatric daytime sleepiness scale. The items of the adolescent sleep wake scale are recoded to have a minimum of 0 and maximum value of 5, in which a higher scores for both the individual items and the overall sum score indicate a better outcome. The items of the pediatric daytime sleepiness are recoded to have a minimum of 0 and maximum value of 4, in which a lower score for both the individual items and the overall sum score indicates a better outcome. Sleep slopes (trajectory over 3 years) were created for each participant with outcomes multiply imputed for children without post-baseline measures.

The annualized change in perceived stress over 3 years. Participants are asked to rate individual scale items on their perception of how often they feel specific stressors on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). Individual scale items are summed for a total score. Higher scores indicate higher perceived frequency of stressors, therefore higher perceived stress. Outcomes are reported as the mean of the slope estimates for total perceived stress score over 3 years (from baseline to 36 months). The perceived stress slope (trajectory over 3 years) was created for each participant with outcomes multiply imputed for children without stress scores post-baseline. An F test with two numerator degrees of freedom was used to test for between-group differences using an alpha of .05.

Cardiometabolic factor slopes (trajectory over 3 years) were created for each participant with outcomes multiply imputed for children without blood draws post-baseline. An F test with two numerator degrees of freedom was used to test for between-group differences using an alpha of .05. Change in the slope of glycated Hemoglobin A1c over 3 years reported.
