NCT ID: NCT03022474 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Kindergarten-based Intervention for Childhood Obesity in Guangzhou(KICOG)

KICOG
Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Early life interventions for childhood obesity may provide substantial benefits. Most existing studies aimed at school children have reported limited effectiveness, however few have targeted preschool children. This study aimed to pilot procedures for a multifaceted, culturally appropriate intervention for preschool children and to provide a preliminary assessment of effectiveness of the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT03010644 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Summer Weight and Environmental Assessment Trial

SWEAT
Start date: May 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The consequences of childhood obesity are devastating, affecting the physical and mental health of children. Disadvantaged school-age children are at risk for unhealthy gains in BMI during the summer months and there is a dearth of information regarding the causal health behaviors and environmental factors. The overall objective of this application is to provide an in depth examination of key dietary and physical activity behaviors as well as the food, physical activity, and social environments of low-income, racial/ethnic school-age children. To achieve this goal, an observational study utilizing a multi-state prospective cohort design will be conducted with the goal of examining the weight gain trajectory among a racially and ethnically diverse convenience sample of disadvantaged school-age children who routinely attend structured programming during the summer months and those who don't participate in structured programming. In addition, a subset of these children will be evaluated to learn their daily health behaviors, as well as their food, physical activity, and social environments during the summer. Identification of determinants of program participation and factors that may enhance the beneficial effects of program participation will also occur. A social ecological framework approach will guide the research. This study can be expected to have a significant positive impact by providing information on the factors that protect disadvantaged children from unhealthy weight gain during the summer which can be used by stakeholders at the local, state, and federal level to reform current policy that will increase child participation in health promoting programming during the summer window of risk.

NCT ID: NCT02992106 Completed - Clinical trials for Endothelial Dysfunction

Evolution of Maternal Weight During Pregnancy and Influence on the Endothelial Function in Her Offspring

EFFECTOR
Start date: May 10, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The rising worldwide prevalence of obesity and its subsequently rising incidence of concommitant diseases as diabetes and cardiovascular events impose a defiant obstacle for the health care and associated health care costs of future generations. Obese pregnant women are a growing population of interest because their offspring is at risk for childhood obesity, an adverse metabolic and inflammatory profile and possible endothelial dysfunction. However, strong evidence is still lacking regarding the hypotheses on the early origin of these long-term health consequences. Consequently there is no comprehensive data available on the contribution of changing maternal weight through lifestyle interventions or bariatric surgery and an eventual adverse metabolic and endothelial programming of the offspring. The investigators of this study want to provide additional data on the body composition, metabolic and inflammatory state as well as endothelial function of children of obese pregnant women women and compare the outcome with children born from normal weight women. Furthermore, the investigators of this study will stratify the obese pregnant women into 3 groups: women who did not underwent an intervention, women who underwent a weight changing intervention during pregnancy e.g. diet or lifestyle intervention and women who underwent bariatric surgery before pregnancy. The overall aim of the study is to prove that in all the diverse groups of participating children, except the control group, there will be a certain grade of endothelial dysfunction, even if there was a normalization of weight, insulin sensitivity and inflammation before conception or delivery in the mother.

NCT ID: NCT02946515 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is looking at the feasibility and efficacy of using SIMmersion's PeopleSim technology to train providers through role playing simulations to effectively conduct discussions with parents to provide intervention for, and reduce the likelihood of progression to childhood obesity.

Simple Suppers Scale-up (S3)

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

The purpose of this study is to determine effectiveness of a family meals intervention, Simple Suppers, aimed at eliciting positive changes in child dietary intake and weight status.

NCT ID: NCT02908230 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Camp NERF: Methods of a Summer Nutrition Ed Rec & Fitness Program to Prevent Unhealthy Weight Gain in Children

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

The primary aims of this research project are to: 1. Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve child nutrition, physical activity, mental health, and anthropometric outcomes. 2. Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve caregiver self-efficacy for establishing healthy family nutrition and physical activity practices, amount of physical activity, and BMI. 3. Evaluate the efficacy of Camp NERF to improve youth mentor nutrition, physical activity, and anthropometric outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT02877823 Completed - Childhood Obesity Clinical Trials

Improving Cardiometabolic Health of Youth on Antipsychotic Medication

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

Pediatric antipsychotic treatment is associated with significant obesity-related side effects, including weight gain, increased blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol, and risk of new onset diabetes. Antipsychotic-induced weight gain is most prominent over the first 6 months of treatment. In this study, youths who are started on antipsychotic medication are identified for a health intervention to minimize antipsychotic-induced weight gain and also have collateral health benefits for the child's parent. Children are identified through a Medicaid medication authorization program which provides a complete list of eligible youth. Youth-parent pairs will be enrolled. All youth and their parents enrolled in this study are offered healthy lifestyle education with simple targets to reduce risk of antipsychotic-induced weight gain (e.g. reduce sugar sweetened beverage intake, engage in 1 hour of daily physical activity). Half of families will also receive 1) home delivery of bottled water, 2) provision of a child pedometer, and 3) health coaching/support from a telephone-delivered, parent peer program (Family Navigator). Home water delivery has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce sugar sweetened beverage intake in general pediatric studies. Child pedometers will be used to encourage parent monitoring of child physical activity. Parent peer support will be provided through a Family Navigator, who is a parent with "lived experience" raising a child with special mental health needs. Family Navigators address practical barriers to lifestyle changes for low income families (e.g. identify safe environment for physical activity, support access to food pantries) and provide emotional support for parents dealing with competing child health priorities (emotional stability, obesity health concerns). Family Navigator contact is exclusively by phone, and all study visits will occur in the home. The Family Navigators are supervised by a child mental health expert team, with an on-call licensed clinician available to address any after hours/weekend urgent concerns. The impact of this intervention will be studied on both child and parent health outcomes (weight, blood pressure, sugar sweetened beverage consumption), child physical activity, as well as parent behaviors associated with child healthy lifestyle changes (e.g. modeling healthy behaviors, monitoring child activity). Assessment of the impact of this healthy lifestyle intervention on other obesity related outcomes that are monitored through blood work (e.g. blood sugar, cholesterol). These labs are obtained by community prescribers as part of standard of care and submitted to Medicaid as required for ongoing approval. No blood work will be done in this study protocol. Child lab results will be requested from the Medicaid pre-authorization program.
