NCT ID: NCT06158594 Recruiting - Pediatric Obesity Clinical Trials

Determining the Optimal Amount of Structured Environments for Healthy Kids

DOSE
Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Studies show that virtually all increases in children's (5-12yrs) BMI occur during the summer, no matter children's' weight status (i.e., normal weight, overweight, or obese) at summer entry. Recent preliminary studies show that children engage in healthier behaviors on days that they attend summer day camps, and that BMI gain does not accelerate for these children. The proposed randomized dose-response study will identify the dose-response relationship between amount of summer programming and summer BMI gain.

Healthy Kids Beyond the Bell: Investigating the Impact of After-School and Summer Programs

Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Nearly one in five children are obese, and disparities in overweight and obesity between children from low- and middle-to-high-income households persist despite a multitude of school-based interventions. The structured days hypothesis posits that structure within a school day plays a protective role for children against obesogenic behaviors, and, ultimately, prevents the occurrence of excessive weight gain, thus, past school-based efforts are misplaced. This study will provide access to healthy structured programming via vouchers to afterschool programs and summer day camps during two "windows of vulnerability" (ie afterschool and summer) for low-income children.
