Official title: Skills Training in Stimulus Control of Meals and Snacks Within a Family-based Obesity Treatment Intervention

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is investigating the impact of a skills training program in stimulus control of meals and snacks on zBMI. Participants will be randomized to a standard family-based obesity treatment intervention with education on child health or a standard family-based obesity treatment intervention with experiential learning about meal stimulus control strategies.

Clinical Trial Description

Family-based obesity treatment interventions can successfully reduce weight in children, but are often limited in the practice of skills being taught during treatment sessions.

Skills training focused on a particular behavioral strategy can provide parents with an experiential component of learning where the information learned as part of a family-based obesity treatment intervention is also practiced. Health education simply provides knowledge to a family about a topic. ;
