NCT ID: NCT03246763 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Active Recreation Through Community-Healthcare Engagement Study

ARCHES
Start date: June 7, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Current obesity treatment guidelines recommend 26 or more hours of behavior treatment, delivered over a 6-month period in a multidisciplinary weight management clinic. However, this guideline is not feasible in real-world clinic settings where medical visits are costly and poorly reimbursed, and attrition is high, particularly among the most vulnerable children. The National Collaborative on Child Obesity Research has issued a call for research investigating healthcare-community partnerships to improve the effectiveness of child obesity treatment. The World Health Organization supports this approach, and in 2015 modified the chronic disease model to include healthcare-community integration. ARCHES is a three-year project that will develop and evaluate an effective, engaging, and scalable community-healthcare treatment option for low-income and racially diverse children. The project engages four communities in North Carolina and facilitates a local clinic-community partnership, supports the development of an integrated childhood obesity treatment program, and evaluates the feasibility of the integrated program model. The effectiveness of the integrated model will also be evaluated, as we will monitor patient outcomes associated with participation. Participation among teens (ages 11-18) will be incentivized where teen/caregiver dyads will be randomized to a gain or loss frame group at the beginning of the study and have the opportunity to receive and redeem points for attending sessions. Patient and process outcomes associated with participation in the integrated model with and without financial incentives will be evaluated.

NCT ID: NCT03245164 Completed - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

The Effects of Group Exercise and Basketball on Obese Children

Start date: September 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aimed to compare the effects of group exercises under physiotherapist control and basketball program on body composition and motor skills of obese children. 45 obese children aged 10 years were randomly included to the physiotherapy (n=15), basketball (n:15), and control group (n:15). The children were assessed before and after 12-week study duration. Body Mass Index (BMI), the percentage of body fat, and circumference values of the children were recorded. Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Brief Form (BOTMP-BF) was used to determine motor skills of children.

NCT ID: NCT03240419 Completed - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Prenatal Probiotic Intervention

Start date: August 23, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will assess the feasibility of a randomized control trial in which the effects of probiotic supplementation throughout pregnancy on maternal insulin sensitivity and inflammation, as well offspring gene expression and body composition are examined.

NCT ID: NCT03195790 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Creating Healthy Environments for Chicago Kids

CHECK
Start date: August 8, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pediatric obesity interventions for low-income populations are increasingly delivered in children's homes, which may make treatment more accessible to families and enhance the potency of the intervention in several ways. This randomized trial will directly test whether delivering family-based behavioral interventions for pediatric overweight/obesity in the home setting improves weight loss outcomes in low-income children relative to medical center-based treatment. The trial will also quantify the cost-effectiveness of home visitation, and explore the mechanisms accounting for observed treatment effects

NCT ID: NCT03189979 Completed - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Club Fit: Physical Activity and Healthy Eating at an After School Program

Start date: October 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Youth from low-income and minority families are disproportionately affected by obesity and its complications. This study presented pilot work to develop and implement a multi-component physical activity and healthy eating intervention at a Boys & Girls Club (BGC) after school program. Methods: Using a community-based participatory approach, BGC staff and academic researchers developed intervention components informed by formative studies and based on a social ecological theory framework. Components included healthy eating and physical activity policy implementation, staff training, a challenge/self-monitoring program for healthy behaviors, a peer-coaching program for healthy behaviors, and a social marketing campaign. Preliminary intervention efficacy was assessed through a single group, pre-post study design with measured collected at baseline and 6 months.

NCT ID: NCT03165604 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

The Effect of Information on Physical Fitness Measures and Training in Overweight Children

Start date: July 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In the present study the investigators will examine the impact of varying information (positive compared to standard information) concerning a drink for improving physical fitness in overweight children.

NCT ID: NCT03159221 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Behavioral Family Systems Therapy (BFST) for Teens With Type 2 Diabetes

ADAPT
Start date: April 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized, controlled pilot trial of Behavioral Family Systems Therapy for Teens with Type 2 Diabetes (BFST-DM2), an individual psychological intervention tailored to meet the needs of teens with type 2 diabetes. It is hypothesized that this behavioral family intervention will be feasible to implement with teens with type 2 diabetes and will have positive effects on treatment adherence, health outcomes like weight status and metabolic control, and psychological outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT03128112 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Healthy Weight Poster, Multi-site Study

Start date: June 20, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a multi-site, cross-sectional study of 3-8 year old children and their parents presenting for a well-child check. The investigators are assessing whether a novel, educational, exam room poster can effectively prompt parents to ask their pediatricians about their children's weight status and improve parents' perceptions of their children's weight status.

NCT ID: NCT03085498 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Sportcheck Follow-Up

Start date: November 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study resembles a four-year follow-up on the influence of physical activity and fitness, blood pressure, BMI and stress on vascular health in primary schoolchildren. It examines the predictive value of retinal vessel diameters for the development of childhood hypertension.

NCT ID: NCT03045354 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Dietary Carbohydrate Consumption at Breakfast on Food Intake, Glycemic Response, and Subjective Appetite

Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of carbohydrates of familiar breakfast meals on glycemic response, subjective appetite, and food intake in normal weight (NW) and overweight or obese (OW/OB) children.
