Clinical Trial Summary
A retrospective study to investigate the method called The Halland Obesity Municipal Effort
for children. All children participating in the intervention since the start of this specific
method will be eligible for inclusion. The aims are to describe participants and the
method-specific activities they are participating in, as well as the effect on their health
and school grades.
Description:
This method involves the entire municipal community in Laholm and Kungsbacka (two cities in
Sweden): Pediatric care unit, Child Psychiatry, Social services, School healthcare, private
companies, and local sports clubs. The model includes group activities and individual
activities and offer 15 different health promoting and free activities per week.
All activities are modified and take place in a safe environment. The activities range from
golf, riding, gym training, swimming, fishing, art classes, karate, dance classes, and the
possibility for the child to get a grade in Physical Education through a specific
collaboration with the local schools in the municipality.
The children are given a fruit at each activity and cooking classes are frequently given. The
municipal activity coordinator who is responsible uses different methods such as KASAM,
Health Action Model and Empowerment to help each child develop skills in self-monitoring,
goal setting, problem solving, contingent reward systems, and stimulus control. Parents are
given a specific support program called COPE, Community Parent Education. Some activities
include the whole family.
In addition to the weekly activities, the activities are also always given on school holidays
and weekends when children are known to be less active.
This study will investigate this method by focusing on BMI, metabolic control, blood
pressure, level of physical activity, age, sex, the existence of comorbidities, presence of
neurodevelopmental disorders, school related issues, involvement of social services, need of
grades in Physical Education and help to learn how to swim, which activities the children
were undertaking as well as the frequency of participation. The proportion of children
achieving full 12 years of education will also be investigated.
