A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Culturally-Appropriate Weight Loss Intervention for Overweight Latino Children
This project aims to conduct a unique, community-based intervention consisting of a
randomized trial of a culturally-appropriate weight loss intervention for overweight Latino
children in Milwaukee. The intervention promotes lifestyle changes through a low weight loss
regimen, one or more physical activities ranging from soccer to hip-hop dance, and dietary
counseling including cooking classes for parents. In addition to weight reduction for
overweight Latino children, the project has the potential to reduce missed school days and
improve self-esteem and quality of life.
