Summary

To address childhood overweight disparities among Latino children in immigrant families a pilot trial of a community-based obesity treatment program, Community Active and Healthy Families (AHF), among 5-12 year old overweight and obese Latino children in immigrant families using pre/post design will be conducted.

The hypothesis is that children participating in Community-AHF will demonstrate a reduction in child body mass index as measured by %BMIp95 (primary outcome) and improved diet physical activity behaviors (secondary outcomes) at intervention completion compared with pre-intervention

Conditions

  • Obesity, Childhood

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Community Active and Healthy Families

Community-AHF will consist of eight, semimonthly 2-hour group appointments. Community-AHF sessions will target two areas: 1) Practical information regarding importance of healthy behaviors, and 2) Problem-solving skills to overcome barriers to improving diet and increasing physical activity and other related healthy behaviors. Each session covers specific objectives, includes a number of complementary activities and provides participants with take-home materials to facilitate behavior change. Community-AHF will be delivered by a nurse and a Community Health Worker (CHW) trained by a consultant nutritionist and study investigators. The CHW will contact families between group sessions to discuss challenges and successes regarding lifestyle changes.
