Study & Design

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Child moderate to vigorous physical activity: Total minutes that the child spends in moderate to vigorous physical activity will be assessed using an accelerometer. The child will be asked to wear the accelerometer for at least five days to provide three days of usable data.[Baseline and 3-month follow up]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Child Total Physical Activity: Total volume of activity (assessed via counts per 15 sec epoch) will be assessed using accelerometers. The child will be asked to wear the accelerometer for at least five days to provide three days of usable data.[Baseline and 3-month follow up];Child sleep duration - Child sleep duration will primarily be measured by parent self-report via telephone interview. This information will also be measured using parent reported daily logs[Baseline and 3-month follow up];Child BMI- Child BMI will be assessed using parent-reported weight and height [Baseline and 3-month follow up]
