Texas Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration (TX CORD) Project -Primary Prevention Study

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pediatric Obesity
• Interventions: Behavioral: Enhanced CATCH Elementary School Program; Behavioral: CATCH Early Childhood (CEC)

• Registration Number: NCT04625998
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Brief Summary

A systems approach emphasizes the linkage between individual behavior change strategies and social and physical environmental changes, which act synergistically to facilitate (or inhibit) healthy eating and active living. We hypothesize that among low income, ethnically diverse overweight and obese children, aged 2-12 years, a systems approach to child obesity will reduce BMI compared to primary prevention alone.
