Brief Summary

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

This is a multi-site, cross-sectional study of 3-8 year old children and their parents presenting for a well-child check. The investigators are assessing whether a novel, educational, exam room poster can effectively prompt parents to ask their pediatricians about their children's weight status and improve parents' perceptions of their children's weight status.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a novel, educational, exam room poster can effectively prompt parents to ask their pediatricians about their children's weight status. Exam rooms within clinics will be randomized to either have the poster or not and parents will complete questionnaires assessing weight perception, whether they discussed their child's weight with their physician, and basic demographics. Participants who are in exam rooms with a poster will also answer questions specifically about the poster.

Parents who are in exam rooms without posters will be ask to fill out a second short questionnaire after seeing their physician that will ask parents whether they discussed their child's weight status with their physician and whether they believe their own child is: very overweight, overweight, healthy weight, underweight, or very underweight.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
