Summary

The findings of this study will establish the feasibility and efficacy of B'N Fit POWER and given the wide presence of MSHP, MMCC and other afterschool programs, there is significant potential for dissemination of B'N Fit POWER to many other clinic-community partnership sites enabling the development of a larger grant that will test the effectiveness and dissemination process to several schools in the Bronx. The translation of a traditional clinical-based weight-loss intervention to adapting and implementing such an intervention in a real-world school setting is more relevant and sustainable for advancing a culture of health and promoting diabetes risk reduction in Bronx youth.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

B'N Fit POWER

Participants will undergo a medical assessment and using an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) template, providers will screen for a healthy weight and the 7 target behaviors. Participants will set goals with the provider to attain one of the target behaviors and will receive an EMR-generated treatment plan summarizing healthy weight and target behavior goals. At 20-minute follow-up visits during the school day, the provider will review weight and target behavior attainment and monitor co-morbidities and barriers to participation. Group 1 participants will also have access to daily MMCC afterschool programming from 3-6pm from September through May each year with tailored programming including weekly core nutrition, behavior, and cooking classes and at least five hours of physical activity.
