Measure
Group-based Behavioral Intervention
The group-based behavioral intervention targets eating behaviors, physical activity, and "screen time", and is delivered to participating children and their parent/caregiver over the course of 4 weeks. Maintenance sessions occur every 3 months thereafter.
Health Education Materials Only
Parent-child dyads allocated to Group 2 were provided with a standardized packet of health education materials addressing the recommended items from the expert committee guidelines (e.g., dietary recommendations using the Food Guide Pyramid and the Traffic Light Diet, a general prescription to increase physical activity to 60 minutes daily). They were also given a community resource list that provides contact and program information for community-based obesity treatment activities in their area.
