Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the effects of a one week weight management summer camp on children's weight, quality of life, mood and feelings, self-esteem, weight management efficacy, enjoyment of physical activity, and body image.

Clinical Trial Description

Obesity affects 17% of children and adolescents in the U.S. Children are entrenched in an obesogenic environment, often with little support in the home, school, or medical environment to make healthy choices. Obesity is increasingly common in underserved communities that lack access and resources for physical activity and healthy eating. Louisiana is a prime example of the need for effective obesity treatment, ranking 1st nationally for adult obesity and 4th for adolescent obesity with the highest obesity prevalence among African American adolescents. We urgently need evidence-based programs to help children and families change lifestyle behaviors, achieve clinically significant weight loss, and thereby reduce the prevalence of pediatric obesity.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force identifies behavioral treatment including dietary, physical activity, and behavioral counseling components as a viable option for pediatric obesity treatment, yet a key challenge is how to implement these programs to maximize access and participation. Summer (between school years) represents an opportunity for intensive intervention to change health behaviors and help children to lose weight. During the summer months, children gain weight at a more rapid pace and spend more time engaged in sedentary behavior compared to the school year.

The American Diabetes Association launched Camp Power Up as a summer week-long day camp for youth who are obese and/or at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The camp will focus on wellness education, nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention. The purpose of the proposed study is to examine effects of Camp Power Up on children's weight status and their psycho-social health. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
