Overview

Brief Summary

The collaborative study is to determine the effectiveness of an after-school community-based program to prevent obesity among minority children.

Detailed Description

Childhood obesity is a major health issue in the United States, particularly among minority children. An integrated after-school program that offers structured and fun physical activities with nutrition and behavior lessons in community centers operated by the Houston Parks and Recreation Department might prevent obesity among minority children who live in the neighborhood.
