简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

研究组 & 干预措施
Child Health Education
The child health education condition will participate in a family-based obesity treatment program for the first 40 minutes of each session, followed by 20 minutes designated to education about a child health topic. Parents and children will be asked to self-monitor sugar-sweetened beverages, fruits, vegetables, and minutes of physical activity and screen time.
干预措施: child health education (Behavioral)
Skills Training
The skills training condition will participate in a family-based obesity treatment program for the first 40 minutes of each session followed by 20 minutes of experiential learning about meal stimulus control strategies. Parents and children will be asked to self-monitor sugar-sweetened beverages, fruits, vegetables, and minutes of physical activity and screen time. In addition they will self-monitor the use the following stimulus control strategies: portion control, energy density and variety.
干预措施: skills training (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
z-BMI
时间窗: 3-months
Height and weight will be used to calculate BMI (kg/m2) and BMI will be standardized in relation to the population mean and standard deviation for the child's age to sex to determine zBMI.
