Trial Outcomes & Findings for Increased Monitoring of Physical Activity and Calories With Technology (NCT NCT03961061)

NCT ID: NCT03961061

Last Updated: 2024-11-08

Results Overview

The weight status of youth will be quantified through the calculation of BMI derived from the measurement of height and weight at the intake and follow-up visits. Both height (plus/minus 0.1 cm) and weight(plus/minus 0.5 kg) will be recorded twice, and values will be averaged to produce the final value using a digital scale and a stadiometer. BMI will be calculated as kg/m2. BMI z-score will be calculated using CDC growth charts and converted to BMI-for-age percentile based on CDC growth charts for children and teens ages 2 through 19. According to the CDC, a child with a BMI percentile less than the 5th percentile is underweight, between the 5th percentile and less than the 85th percentile is at a "healthy weight," over the 85th percentile to less than the 95th percentile has overweight, and above the 95th percentile has obesity.

Brenner FIT (Standard Care)
Adolescents will participate in Brenner Families in Training along with their caregiver. They will receive all components of standard Brenner FIT treatments. Brenner mFIT (standard care): Families attend an orientation, in which they are then scheduled for an initial introductory 2-hour intake group session and cooking class; these occur within 2-4 weeks of the orientation. Monthly 1-hour long visits with the dietitian, counselor, and PA specialist are held for 6 months, in which the child and caregiver see the pediatrician. During the 6 months of treatment, they attend 4 group classes, choosing from topics such as meal planning, PA, and parenting. Specialized visits with the PA specialist or dietician are scheduled as pertinent issues arise. Motivational interviewing, modified by Brenner FIT for use with families, is the key to treatment; family counselors are trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, parenting support/mindfulness, and employ these approaches to assist families in developing healthy habits.
Brenner mFIT (Standard Care Plus Mobile Health Components)
Adolescents will participate in Brenner Families in Training along with their caregiver. Brenner mFIT (Families in Training + mobile health) includes all components of the standard Brenner FIT Brenner mFIT (standard care plus mobile health components): Brenner mFIT includes all components of the standard Brenner FIT program in addition to six mobile health components. The six mHealth components that will be used in addition to standard Brenner Families in Training program include- 1. a mobile-enabled website, 2. diet and physical activity tracking apps and physical activity tracker 3. tailored self-monitoring feedback 4. caregiver podcasts 5. animated videos for adolescent patients 6. social support via social media.

Clinical costs of the mHealth intervention will be compiled over the duration of the program. The number of participants reflects the number who remained in the program. Since the data refer to the costs of the participants' care and were not collected directly from the participants, the number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the other outcome measures. The intervention cost was calculated at the group level and not per participant.

Population: Clinical costs of the mHealth intervention will be compiled over the duration of the program

Clinical costs of the mHealth intervention will be compiled over the duration of the program. The number of participants reflects the number who remained in the program. Since the data refer to the costs of the participants' care and were not collected directly from the participants, the number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the other outcome measures. The intervention cost was calculated at the group level and not per participant.
