The purpose of the current study is examine the feasibility and efficacy of providing a
behavioral family intervention in 30 youth 10 to 17 years of age who are obese and attending
a multidisciplinary pediatric obesity clinic and their parents. Participating families will
complete assessments consisting of weight status, dietary intake, physical activity,
health-related quality of life, psychological functioning, home-food environment, parenting
skills, and self-efficacy at pre-treatment (Baseline), post-treatment (Month 3), and 2 month
post-treatment follow-up (Month 5). Family attendance data will be collected during the
behavioral family intervention and children and parents will complete a treatment
satisfaction questionnaire at the post-treatment assessment. Health outcomes (e.g., A1C,
glucose) routinely assessed through standard medical care in the multidisciplinary pediatric
obesity clinic will be obtained from child medical charts.
