Trial Outcomes & Findings for Addressing Health Disparities in Childhood Obesity, One Summer at a Time (NCT NCT03595332)

NCT ID: NCT03595332

Last Updated: 2022-10-05

Results Overview

Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated as kg/m2 and BMI-percentile score calculated using the L, M, S parameters published by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. BMI Percentile-score are measures of relative weight adjusted for child age and sex. The percentile indicates value relative to reference populations for age and sex, with at or below 5th percentile indicating the child being underweight, between 5 and 85th percentile as having a healthy weight, 85th to 95th percentile as being overweight and 95th percentile and above indicative of having obesity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 10 weeks

Population: This analysis includes only those children who were overweight by CDC standards (equal or greater to 85th percentile for age and sex), as they were the high-risk group of interest for the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured 1-year after baseline

Population: The delayed intervention group 1-year BMI Percentile follow-up was not possible as all schools closed in March 2020 with no measurements allowed over the next year. Of the 76 children (of 92 total) in the immediate intervention group who completed any follow-up measurements, 64 completed 1-year measurements.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at baseline and at 10-weeks (after summer program)

During your free time on most days, how likely will you do physical activities? with Likert type 5-answer options (1,2,3,4 or 5) ranging from (1) "I will not be active" to (5) "For sure I will be active". The minimum score is 1, maximum score is 5. Higher scores mean greater intentions to engage in physical activity.
