Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
2. We will evaluate the specific content and quality of clinician obesity counseling provided at the well child visit through parent surveys before and after implementation of the PDA screening and counseling program.
3. To support action by families after the office visit, we will develop a post-visit intervention package of newsletters and materials that are tailored to child/family obesity risk behaviors and parental readiness to change.
4. We will evaluate the impact of this post visit intervention program in a 6 month trial focused on children identified at well child screening to have BMI \>85%. 200 Families will be randomized to receive either a series of mailed supports over 3 months versus a single generic-content mailing. We will determine the respective impact of these two levels of post-visit support on stage of change, parental action on key obesity risk behaviors, and stabilization of BMI z scores after 6 months.
