Filter by:Investigators propose to pilot an adolescent obesity intervention, TEENS+, to examine the feasibility of this dietary intervention strategy and preliminary effectiveness of two models of parental involvement within adolescent obesity treatment.
The purpose of this social media group randomized trial (GRT) is to test the feasibility of our Baby Dayr for Teen Moms intervention to increase maternal responsiveness to infant cues and implement healthy feeding practices through development of a healthy feeding style. Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the Baby Dayr intervention administered to the target population as it relates to their acceptance and satisfaction with the content, format, delivery, and use of social media. Aim 2: Explore efficacy of the Baby Dayr intervention administered to adolescent mothers of infants 4 months of age or less as assessed by maternal responsiveness, feeding style, and feeding practices evaluated at the completion of the intervention using self-report methods.
The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of lack or excess of Vitamin D in the first, second and third trimester on child birth weight, fat content and the secretion of metabolism related hormone, and clinical follow-up their offspring obesity.
The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of lack or excess of folic acid in first, second and third trimester on child birth weight, fat content and the secretion of metabolism related hormone, and clinical follow-up their offspring obesity.
The study is designed to assess habituation of behavioral responding for food as risk factors for increases in Standardized Body Mass Index (zBMI) over two years in non-overweight children.
The project aims at developing the tailored intervention strategy of childhood obesity based on monitoring physical activities with accelerometer and dietary behaviors using diary. It probably raise the passion of obese children to control weight, form healthy life style, be effective in sustaining weight loss and early prevent adulthood diseases.
The purpose of this study is to determine if health-related text messages sent from healthcare providers to overweight and obese adolescents enrolled at a pediatric lipid clinic will result in increased adherence to their nutrition and physical activity goals and improve their weight loss. The study will also assess if the volume of texts per week impacts outcomes.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether SUDOSCAN is a valid, accurate clinical device for the the determination of sweat gland function in the pediatric population. Primary Objective: To measure sweat gland function in a pediatric population Secondary Objective: To determine thresholds on the SUDOSCAN scale for abnormal sweat gland function in the pediatric population
In this study the investigators hypothesize that pathological alterations in adipose tissue biology already occur during the development and progression of obesity in children and adolescents. The investigators aim to identify and characterize mechanisms and molecular targets that affect the development of adipose tissue and ensuing obesity in childhood and adolescence.
The purpose of this study is to develop a Social Network Engagement (SNE) Intervention that will be integrated into a standard treatment program for childhood overweight. The investigators will conduct a pilot trial of SNE to assess feasibility and to estimate its effectiveness compared with historical controls who received standard treatment. The historical controls will be participants in the FOCUS trial (Family Overweight: Comparing Use of Strategies; NCT00746629).
