Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
The intervention group will receive weekly education sessions about nutrition, exercise, and behavioral health.
Vidas Activas, famiLias saludablEs (VALE)
Families and Children allocated to the intervention will receive weekly group-based meetings over a 10-week period consisting of education and activities on healthy lifestyles. Graduate students/Research Assistants trained in nutrition, exercise and clinical psychology will lead the meetings. All activities will be culturally relevant (i.e. cooking healthy Latino recipes) and Spanish speaking students will be recruited to deliver the intervention. Participants will be involved on deciding activities and projects and while some sessions will meet as a family group with parents/guardians, others will meet separately.
