Cognitive Aspects of Response to Treatment for Weight-related Health to

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

We plan to examine whether child and parental cognitive/executive function predict body composition outcomes and adherence to a 6-month protocol of Family-Based Behavioral Treatment (FBT), for pediatric obesity. Our objectives are to: (1) examine the effects of parent and child complex cognitive functions on treatment outcomes and adherence in a 6-month FBT program for obesity in a diverse group of children aged 8-12 (total of 16 child-parent pairs), and (2) examine the strength of the relationship between parent and child cognitive function. We hypothesize that children with poorer executive function, and those who have parents with poorer executive function, will have poorer body composition and adherence outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

Baseline assessments will include child and parent demographic data, medical history, and cognitive functioning, along with anthropometric measures such as height, weight, and body composition. Those who complete baseline assessments will be enrolled in one of two groups of family-based treatment on after-school evenings (8 pairs in each group; total of 16 child-caregiver pairs). A total of 24 weekly treatment sessions lasting up to 90 minutes each will be held over 6 months. Family-based behavioral treatment is a manualized, group intervention for children with obesity and their caregivers that incorporate participant-driven goal-based changes in diet and physical activity, and a variety of interactive educational session topics and behavioral support for reaching goals. A private weigh-in for children and caregivers will be conducted at each session. Sessions will begin with check-in with each family about weekly goal progress, after which the caregivers and children will split into separate groups for session-specific content including educational material tailored to nutrition, eating, and activity. The final portion of group session will involve children and caregivers merging in one group to share learning experiences and engage in collaborative goal-setting for the upcoming week(s). After the six month family-based behavioral intervention, baseline measures will be reassessed as well as overall program adherence. Program adherence will be evaluated using weekly program attendance and the number of days dietary/physical activity self-monitoring logs were completed. ;

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.
