Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Parents as Coaches

PAC (modeled after NIH-funded NOURISH) focuses on parenting strategies to support and facilitate their child's weight management via family-based change. Each visit includes group psychoeducation and discussion, focused on parenting strategies to facilitate healthy weight management in their child(ren). Topics include focus such as role modeling, strategies for healthy lifestyle changes, and how to be a coach to your teen.

BEHAVIORAL

Parent Weight Loss

In PWL parents will be given a weight loss goal of 1-2 lbs/week, as well as specific calorie and fat prescriptions, PA goals, and instructions to self-monitor key information. Parents will receive training in core behavioral weight loss strategies (e.g., goal setting, stimulus control) and techniques to help them achieve these goals and will also receive personalized feedback throughout the program
