Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of vHAPPY is to pilot test a new type of virtual family-based healthy lifestyle program for children aged 8-14 with obesity and their caregivers. vHAPPY aims to (1) Transition a previously developed acceptance-based behavioral treatment to web-based platform, utilizing qualitative and quantitative program evaluation data from past participants. (2) Determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of the adapted web-based treatment. (3) Evaluate whether the adapted web-based treatment (self-guided treatment + brief coaching) is similar to the traditional treatment (interventionist-guided treatment) in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes utilizing a non-randomized sequential arm design.


Clinical Trial Description

Caregiver and child pairs will complete a 14 week virtual, self-guided healthy lifestyle program including education on health and wellness topics such as food groups, physical activity and stress management. Special skill builders for managing the thoughts, feelings and emotions associated with changing health behaviors will also be included. Pairs will have biweekly 15 minute coaching sessions to check in on progress in the past week, set goals and problem solve. Optional group sessions will be offered for peer support. In order to assess progress, pairs will also complete assessment visits before and after the program. These visits include one virtual assessment via Zoom and one in-person assessment at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Caregivers and children will complete questionnaires and measures such has height, weight, blood pressure and a finger prick. ;
