Texas Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration (TX CORD) Project -Primary Prevention Study

Summary

A systems approach emphasizes the linkage between individual behavior change strategies and social and physical environmental changes, which act synergistically to facilitate (or inhibit) healthy eating and active living. We hypothesize that among low income, ethnically diverse overweight and obese children, aged 2-12 years, a systems approach to child obesity will reduce BMI compared to primary prevention alone.
