Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This pilot study is a randomized controlled trial with an embedded cross sectional study exploring parental perceptions of their weight status and how it affects their perceptions of their child's weight status. This study uses an educational intervention in which parents are informed of their actual weight status and how it affects their child's health. We will study the effect of this intervention on the parent's perceptions of and level of concern for their own and their child's weight status.
Our goal is to develop a primary care intervention that will enhance parental perceptions of overweight and motivation to make changes for their family. Pilot data collected here will support an R21 Exploratory/Developmental Clinical Research Grant in Obesity or a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJ) grant submission.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Education Intervention
The intervention used in the randomized controlled trial consists of 1) measuring the parents' height and weight and 2) providing the parents with feedback on their calculated BMI on an educational handout (included in Appendix V). The purpose of the handout is to convey the following 5 messages:
1. Definition of BMI
2. How BMI is calculated
3. What the parent's BMI is based on the measurements taken
4. What weight category the parent is in (underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese)
5. Children with overweight or obese parents are at higher risk of becoming overweight themselves.
The Research Assistant will verbally review the educational handout with the parent. The handout will be available in both English and Spanish.
Education Intervention
The intervention is a short educational handout regarding BMI and the effect of parental weight status on children.
Control Group
Parents assigned to the control group will proceed to their child's well child visit after their baseline data are collected.
