Summary

In response to the growing threat of obesity on the health of American children, specifically African American children, the investigators propose to develop a program to educate and motivate African American families to improve health behavior for obesity reduction and diabetes prevention. This project will be unique in its partnership with local YMCAs and its use of Family Health Coaches from the YMCAs who will work one-on-one with participating families. The investigators feel this program will benefit all members of the families who are enrolled and will encourage all members to participate though the study will target one parent and one child who is 8 to 10 years old.
