Filter by:Healing Experiences of Adversity Among Latinos (HEALthy4You) is a project funded by the California Initiative for the Advancement of Precision Medicine ("Advancing a Precision Population Health Approach to ACEs to Reduce Health Disparities"). The long-term goal of this project is to develop community-centered, culturally Appropriate, precision Interventions that can be delivered within Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers (FQHCs) for Latino Families, to reduce Adverse Child Events (ACES) risks and treat childhood obesity. UCSD in conjunction with Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD) will conduct a 2x2 factorial trial with four groups meant to determine what combination of intervention components influence family protective factors (a key marker for reduced risk of the deleterious effects of systemic and family/individual stressors that are a critical part of ACEs) and childhood obesity.
Consumption of sweetened beverages, media-viewing, and physical activity patterns are often established during early childhood, and family-based obesity interventions show effectiveness in shaping healthy behaviors and weight outcomes for young children, including Latino children. Missing from these interventions, however, are methods to increase accessibility and dissemination to multiple family caregivers. The proposed work will use a randomized study design to evaluate the impact a family-based early childhood obesity intervention for Latino families that incorporates evidence-based strategies of in-person childhood obesity interventions, mobile phones, and leverages important determinants of Latino health (e.g. familism, language) in order to decrease ethnic disparities in childhood obesity and cardiovascular risk.
The objective of this proposed study is to collect initial efficacy data on a telehealth family-based behavioral program for Latino children with overweight or obesity, which also includes additional caregiver support (PBT-AC), compared with health education (HE).
In this study it is researched how preventive and curative healthcare for children with overweight and obesity was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic, which barriers were noticed by professionals, and how new methods (such as e-health and telemonitorning) for coaching, communication and healthcare were used and experienced.
A retrospective study to investigate the method called The Halland Obesity Municipal Effort for children. All children participating in the intervention since the start of this specific method will be eligible for inclusion. The aims are to describe participants and the method-specific activities they are participating in, as well as the effect on their health and school grades.
In this study, doctors want to find out more about why people who lose weight often regain the weight that they have lost once they resume a regular diet and whether hormones might play a role in weight regain. The study is divided into two parts, called the meal replacement period and the follow-up period. The meal replacement period will consist of drinking a shake for breakfast and lunch and eating a frozen meal for dinner that is calorie controlled. Individuals will also be asked to eat two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables each day. The study will provide the shakes and the frozen entrees, participants are asked to supply the fruits and vegetables. Participation in this study will last for up to 35 weeks. There will be 10 in-person visits and 13 visits by phone or over Zoom over the 35 weeks.
Eating Better Together is a 6-month pilot program that teaches families about healthy eating and activity and provides home deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables from a local retail partner.
Evira is a digital support system newly developed for treatment of childhood obesity. Through daily weighings at home using a special scale together with a message function in the Evira application, enabling fast and easy communication with the clinic, parents and the clinicians can easily follow the child's weight development. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of adding Evira to the already locally used life-style treatment of childhood obesity.
Your COACH Next Door (YCND) is a lifestyle intervention connecting children with overweight and their families with a coach close to home. This study goal is to examine the effects of YCND for children and their families, (on their health, quality of life), and a process evaluation (process of the lifestyle intervention, and satisfaction for children, families and healthcare givers)
Introduction: Annually 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer in the world. Approximately 90% live in low/middle-income countries, with survival rates of 10-30%. In Mexico, children and adolescents' hospital admissions for cancer are mainly leukemias (46%), being acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) the most common. Half of ALL patients have an altered nutritional status at the time of diagnosis. Nutritional assessment is performed using conventional anthropometric measures, which are not sensitive to changes in fat-free mass and fat mass (FFM and FFM). Our objective is to evaluate the body composition and nutritional status in pediatric patients with HM. This is a pre-test/post-test clinical trial. Children 2-14 y olds diagnosed with leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma in any stage of oncological treatment will participate. The nutritional status will be evaluated using questionnaires and body composition. Measurements will occur at the enrrollment of the study and 6 months after.
