Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed research will be the first study to investigate the feasibility of incorporating physical literacy screening into primary care clinical settings, while determining the efficacy of integration on physical literacy. To investigate aim 1, feasibility, the research team will provide all children ages 6-11 presenting for well-child care by the participating pediatricians with physical literacy screening (PAVSPED) at point of entry for care. The child will complete the 5 yes/no screen and answers will be provided to the pediatrician for acknowledgement. To investigate aim 2, efficacy, participants will be randomized into a control group (standard of care) or an intervention group (patient education). The intervention group will receive the patient education document with their questionnaire, randomization will occur by the study team prior to subject visits. The patient education will be designed to address and investigate the four domains of physical literacy including, knowledge and understanding, motivation and confidence, daily behavior, and physical competence, (i.e., referral based training/PT (passive), self-motivated/directed exercise choice (speaks to child ownership/motivation), simple play outside 60 minutes/day (middle)). All participants will receive a 6-month follow-up email with the same 6 questions to assess if responses changed between the two groups.
