Filter by:The objective of this proposed study is to compare Regulation of Cues (ROC), Family-Based Treatment (FBT), ROC+ nutrition education and reducing energy intake (ROC+) and a health education comparator (HE) for children with overweight or obesity who are high on food responsiveness (FR).
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the usability, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a digital dietary self-monitoring (dDSM) log that uses positive reinforcement strategies (caregiver praise and gamification) to improve child engagement in DSM. The main aims are to: - Examine the usability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years with overweight or obesity and their adult caregivers. - Examine the acceptability of a dDSM log that uses positive reinforcement (praise and gamification) among children 8-12 years with overweight or obesity and their adult caregivers - Conduct a proof-of-concept trial that examines the effects of positive reinforcement on child DSM behaviors. - Explore differences in children's intrinsic motivation. Participating children will be instructed to self-monitor their daily intake of targeted food groups (fruits, vegetables, sweet and salty snack foods, and sugar-sweetened beverages) for 4 weeks using a personal web-based DSM log. Each child-caregiver dyad will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: BASIC, PRAISE, GAME, or PRAISE+GAME. For PRAISE and PRAISE+GAME conditions, caregivers will be instructed to provide daily process praise to their child related to DSM behaviors. For GAME and PRAISE+GAME conditions, logs will integrate three game mechanics: points, levels, and a virtual pet. Points will be accumulated for engaging in DSM behaviors, and accrual of points will evolve a virtual pet over time.
The FACILITY STUDY is aimed at evaluating maternal and children social, cultural, economic and lifestyle-related risk factors for the development of childhood overweight, obesity and early adiposity rebound (EAR). This study consists of two phases: a cross-sectional phase and a retrospective case-control study.
Childhood obesity has been rising steadily over the past 40 years. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) observed around 340 million overweight or obese children and adolescents worldwide, including one in five in France. The causes are complex, both individual (genetic, biological, behavioral) and collective (social, economic, cultural). Childhood obesity encourages the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and can affect mental health. Without early treatment, the risk of obesity persisting into adulthood is high. In the Alpes-Maritimes region, the commune of Mouans-Sartoux has been promoting a local diet in line with PNNS-4 recommendations since 2011. We wish to study the impact of these actions on the health of Mouans children. We propose a preliminary observational study to assess the relationship between family adherence to PNNS recommendations and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Mouans-Sartoux elementary school children.
Approximately one half of adults and one-fifth of children have obesity, including 14% of 2-5-year-olds. Early obesity prevention is essential as children who are overweight by age 5 are at increased risk for later obesity. Dietary intake is inextricably linked to weight status, and the majority of young children fail to meet intake recommendations, with socioeconomically disadvantaged and racial/ethnic minority children at increased risk of poor diet quality. However, children's liking of healthier foods predicts their intake, and children can learn to like healthier foods via experience. The current study brings together evidence from the parenting and learning literatures to: 1) examine effects of a novel learning strategy leveraging positive parent-child interactions on 3-5-year-old children's vegetable acceptance and dietary intake, as well as to explore 2) individual differences in learning strategy effects.
The rate of weight gain in the first year of life is risk factor for future obesity. The study will test (1) a model of l mechanisms underlying the development of emotion, attachment, and nutritive intake; and (2) the association with maternal feeding behavior, child eating behavior, dietary intake, and adiposity.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a responsive parenting obesity prevention program with infants and caregivers of color (e.g., non-White; Hispanic/Latinx) and/or who are economically marginalized (i.e., publicly insured), delivered via Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) in pediatric primary care. The main questions it aims to answer are: - 1) Is the obesity prevention intervention delivered via IBH in pediatric primary care feasible and acceptable to families of color and/or families who are economically marginalized? - 2) Will it prevent rapid weight gain during infancy? Participants will complete baseline (newborn), post-treatment (9 months), and follow-up assessments (12 months). Participants assigned to treatment will receive 4 prevention sessions as part of their typical well-child visit in pediatric primary care. Researchers hypothesize that infants in the obesity prevention intervention will have stable weight gain compared to infants in the control group (treatment as usual) will experience more rapid weight gain.
A prospective observational case-control study evaluating the effect of a weight loss intervention program on functional gastrointestinal disorders among overweight and obese children.
The goal of this qualitative trial study is to assess the usefulness and acceptability of the intervention in diverse clinical and community settings. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How many parents were approached and consented to participate? - How many parents viewed the videos via link versus viewed the video with a discussion in group sessions? - How did parents feel about the process of being recruited and interventions that they participated in? - How did the providers feel about the intervention recruitment and delivery? - How did the facilitators feel about their delivery of the material? Participants will complete a survey and an interview after completing second part of the intervention. Researchers will compare handout, online-only video, and group class interventions to see if an intervention delivery is useful and accepted by parents or providers.
This study will test the Baby-Feed web platform among 160 parents with infants aged 1-3 months at the time of enrollment and follow them through their 9-month well-child visit (about a total of 6 months) using a mixed-methods approach (randomized control trial with qualitative interviews).
