Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a community and home-based preschool obesity intervention for families enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

Conditions

  • Pediatric Obesity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Family-Based Weight Control

Families randomized to the intervention condition will receive a 4-month, 14-session behavioral weight control intervention targeting obesity reduction in preschoolers and caregivers. Within the program, 9 sessions will be group-based and held at WIC and 5 sessions will be individual visits (4 home-based and 1 at a food market where the family shops). The intervention includes teaching behavioral weight loss, child behavior management, and life skills (e.g., budgeting and time management ) via experiential learning to assist families with implementing diet and activity recommendations for pediatric and adult weight management.
