Summary

The study will evaluate a coherent model of family support including school health care, primary health care and pediatric clinics. The model combines two evidence based programs: the universal "A Healthy School Start" provided to all children and their families during grade 1 and the targeted parental support program "More and Less" provided to parents of children with overweight or obesity.

The hypothesis is that combining the Healthy School Start and More and Less programs in a coherent model will increase the collaboration between regional and municipal stakeholders, ensure early identification of families in need, ultimately improving prevention and treatment of childhood overweight and obesity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the implementation of a coherent model of family support provided through school and primary health care.
