Summary

The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of a child obesity intervention with multiple components targeting nutrition and/or psycho-social factors in children, their parents, and their classmates. The specific aims of the study are to (1) Determine the effectiveness of two family-level interventions for improving child outcomes (unhealthy eating, low activity, and overweight); (2) Determine the extent to which adding a family dynamics component enhances the effectiveness of a family lifestyle intervention and improves the child outcomes listed above; and (3) Determine the extent to which a peer-level intervention improves the effectiveness of two family-level interventions among overweight children.
