Summary

CHOICES is a program to provide children and families with lifetime tools and lifestyle strategies to achieve and maintain a healthy body size. Both parents and children get active, learn about the food choices they can make, and about the roles of TV in their lives. Led by physicians and young adults, the 12 weekly 90 minute sessions provide hands on experiences that connect into the participants' daily lives. In the study, the families were divided into two groups, beginning their classes 6 months apart. Body measurements were taken at baseline and every 4 months to 16 months.
