Summary

The main purpose of vHAPPY is to pilot test a new type of virtual family-based healthy lifestyle program for children aged 8-14 with obesity and their caregivers. vHAPPY aims to (1) Transition a previously developed acceptance-based behavioral treatment to web-based platform, utilizing qualitative and quantitative program evaluation data from past participants. (2) Determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of the adapted web-based treatment. (3) Evaluate whether the adapted web-based treatment (self-guided treatment + brief coaching) is similar to the traditional treatment (interventionist-guided treatment) in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes utilizing a non-randomized sequential arm design.

Web Based Treatment

The literature regarding the efficacy of web-based platforms for behavioral weight management interventions in pediatric populations continues to grow. Considering the continued increase in technology and internet use among youth, web-based interventions have the potential to serve as a more cost-effective and personalized approach to pediatric behavioral weight management. Extant research supports this consideration. More research that compares web-based vs. traditional delivery of acceptance-based pediatric behavioral weight management interventions is necessary to understand the utility of this platform as well as which aspects are most effective.
