Measure
Biweekly Arm
n=12 Participants
The intervention consisted of 6 nutrition group sessions co-led by parent and a professional from the community who rotated at each session. Group nutrition sessions consisted of a facilitated discussion of benefits and barriers to healthy eating, a short lesson led by the content expert, and a fun game or activity to reinforce the lesson. This is the first of three non-concurrent phases of the study which sought to compare the feasibility and efficacy of the group sessions when offered biweekly (first phase).Parent and child dyads in each arm and phase received a Fitbit Flex wearable device at the second session.

The intervention consisted of 6 nutrition group sessions co-led by parent and a professional from the community who rotated at each session. Group nutrition sessions consisted of a facilitated discussion of benefits and barriers to healthy eating, a short lesson led by the content expert, and a fun game or activity to reinforce the lesson. This is the third of three non-concurrent phases of the study which sought to compare the feasibility of the group sessions when offered weekly (third phase). For phases one and two participants will participate in only one phase. Due to recruitment issues in the third phase, researchers obtained IRB approval to allow participants from previous phases to participate and instead evaluated feasibility outcomes. Parent and child dyads in each arm and phase received a Fitbit Flex wearable device at the second session.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 months

Population: Data were not collected on any participants because we changed the study design based on qualitative participant feedback in pilot phases. Our asking participants about their habits, and showing them their data, was part of the intervention instead of an outcome to assess efficacy of the intervention.

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 months

Population: PEDS QL was only administered to the Biweekly Arm.

Measure Description: PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) is a modular instrument for measuring health-related quality of life in children and adolescents ages 2 to 18. Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, so that higher scores indicate better Health-Related Quality of Life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 months

Population: Due to recruitment and retention issues, BMI Z-score was not evaluated for the weekly arm.

BMI Z-scores compares child to age and sex matched peers. A z-score of 0 is the same as a 50th percentile in the reference population, a z-score of ± 1.0 plots at the 15th or 85th percentiles, respectively, and a z-score of ± 2 plots at roughly the 3rd or 97th percentiles. Negative numbers indicate values lower than the reference population whereas positive numbers indicate values higher than the reference population.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 months

Population: This measure was administered at 3 months in biweekly arm and monthly arm, but not administered in weekly arm. All completed subjects contributed data in biweekly arm; 7 subjects contributed data for monthly arm.

Self efficacy was assessed using a validated 14-item questionnaire using a 5-point Strongly Agree/ Strongly Disagree scale. The range of values is 1 to 5, with lower values indicating higher self-efficacy
