Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to develop a Social Network Engagement (SNE) Intervention that will be integrated into a standard treatment program for childhood overweight. The investigators will conduct a pilot trial of SNE to assess feasibility and to estimate its effectiveness compared with historical controls who received standard treatment. The historical controls will be participants in the FOCUS trial (Family Overweight: Comparing Use of Strategies; NCT00746629).
