Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of the research is to learn whether written materials or handouts that are given to parents are helpful in changing knowledge or behavior.

Detailed Description

Few written resources for families have been tested in the primary care setting. Kid STRIDE (STRiving to Improve Diet \& Exercise) is an educational booklet designed for parents of overweight children. We hypothesize that this booklet will benefit a small percentage of the overweight and obese population of children as a first-tiered approach to treatment of overweight and obese children.
