NCT ID: NCT03661918 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

CHAT at HOME Pilot Study

Start date: November 27, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of a 10 session parent-targeted phone-based childhood obesity treatment (n=40). A factorial design (2 X 2 X 2) will be used to examine the acceptability and feasibility of 3 intervention components: 1) the first session being conducted in person, 2) involving a second adult caregiver, and 3) a weekly weighing of child via WiFi-enabled scales.

NCT ID: NCT03646201 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Feeding, Fun, and Families Study

FFF
Start date: July 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To develop and evaluate the efficacy of Feeding Fun and Families (FFF), a nutrition education intervention for low-income mothers emphasizing authoritative food parenting skills, on preschool aged children's energy intakes from solid fats and added sugars (SoFAS), using a randomized controlled trial conducted in a clinic-based setting. FFF will result in lower child SoFAS intakes compared to a no-treatment control group at the end of the 12 week intervention (primary outcome), adjusted for baseline values.

NCT ID: NCT03624582 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Shape Up Kids Fitness Ancillary

Start date: July 2, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The overall objective of this study is to quantify the decision-making process and underlying biases around leisure activity behaviors using the Activity Preference Assessment (APA), a novel psychological task. The investigators plan to validate the APA against objectively measured sedentary and physical activity time, and examine its potential to predict health-related outcomes in children and adolescents. The Shape Up Kids Fitness Ancillary protocol will add exercise testing, cognitive and behavioral measures, accelerometry, and questionnaires to the existing Shape Up Kids primary study dataset.

NCT ID: NCT03611296 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Translational Investigation of Growth and Everyday Routines in Kids (TIGER Kids) Fitness Ancillary

Start date: June 6, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this ancillary study is to examine cardiorespiratory fitness, cognitive factors related to appetite, and objectively-measured food intake in a subsample of children and adolescents with overweight to severe obesity enrolled in the TIGER Kids prospective cohort. The primary study also collects data on habitual physical and sedentary activity, body weight and body composition, and cardiometabolic health markers.

NCT ID: NCT03566771 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Treatment Results and Health Care Consumption From a Web-based Support System in Behavioural Childhood Obesity Treatment

Start date: April 11, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to evaluate if a web-based support system with daily self-monitoring of weight, use of an activity measuring wrist-band, and communication between the clinic and the parents gives better results on degree of obesity compared with usual care. Changes in BMI standard deviation score (SDS) are compared between usual care (control) and usual care with complementary web-based support system (intervention).

NCT ID: NCT03524911 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Choose Health: Food, Fun, and Fitness Curriculum Promotes Positive Behaviors in 3rd-5th Graders Compared to Control

Start date: October 23, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Choose Health: Food, Fun, and Fitness (CHFFF) curriculum was evaluated in 3rd-5th graders, hypothesizing that change pre- to post- CHFFF education would be greater than in the same child during a delayed intervention control period.

NCT ID: NCT03513510 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Development and Pilot Testing of a Childhood Obesity Treatment Program

Start date: January 1, 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aims were to assess community capacity to develop, implement, and sustain a childhood obesity reduction initiative in the health-disparate Dan River Region as well as to pilot test iChoose to determine the potential reach (i.e., proportion of target population & representativeness), effectiveness (i.e., changes in child BMI z-scores over a 6 month period), feasibility (i.e., the degree to which the intervention can be adopted, implemented, and sustained as intended) and cost (i.e., resource and staffing costs) of the newly developed intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03487614 Completed - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Evaluation of a Primary Care Weight Management Program in Children Aged 2 to 5 Years

Start date: July 1, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Primary care offers a promising setting for promoting parenting practices that shape healthy eating and physical activity behaviors of young children. This study assessed the impact of a parent-based, primary care intervention on the feeding habits, health behaviors, and body mass index (BMI) of 2-5 year olds with elevated or rapidly-increasing BMI. Four private pediatric offices in West Michigan were assigned as control (n=2) or intervention (n=2) sites based on patient load and demographics. Treatment families were recruited at well-child visits to receive physician health-behavior counseling and four visits with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) over a 6-month period. Outcomes included percent of the 95th BMI percentile (%BMI95), the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity survey (FNPA), and the Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire (FPSQ).

NCT ID: NCT03482908 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Coordination of Care Between Pediatricians and Women Infants & Children Nutritionists

WEE
Start date: July 6, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

WEE Baby Care is a 6 month intervention that coordinates care across multiple settings- health care clinics and WIC clinics on responsive parenting practices to increase parenting competence thereby preventing infant rapid weight gain. The investigators will recruit mother/infant dyads in Central PA, who participate in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program and receive clinical care from a Geisinger pediatrician participating in this study.

NCT ID: NCT03438721 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Strong Futures: A Trial of Two Primary Care Based Interventions to Promote Optimal Health in Latino Infants and Toddlers

Start date: April 11, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Latino children experience higher rates of obesity compared to non-Hispanic white children, especially in low-income communities. Optimal feeding strategies in early life, avoidance of screen time and longer sleep duration may lower the risk of obesity. Family financial hardship is also associated with short- and long-term health risks, including behavioral and mental health problems, and toxic stress which contributes to elevated risk of common chronic conditions over the life course. This proposal aims to pilot test two interventions to promote optimal health outcomes in Latino infants. Study participants will meet with a health educator after well child visits at 2-weeks, 2-, 4-, 6-, 9- and 12-months. Half of the parents will receive education on obesity prevention. The other half will receive financial education and case management using an established financial coaching approach. Parents will also receive text messages that reinforce educational content. The objective of this study is to determine the acceptability and feasibility of offering these interventions in the well-child setting. Study investigators also seek to determine the preliminary efficacy of these interventions on infant and parent health outcomes including dietary intake, screen time, sleep duration, health related quality of life and financial stress.
