Family Lifestyle Overweight Prevention Program: Evaluation of a Weight Management Program for Mexican American Youth
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating FLOW and SelfHelp for Overweight and Obesity. Completed.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study was to design a weight management program for Mexican American youth and to determine the effectiveness of the program for weight management compared to a self help program. 1. At the end of 6 months, individuals randomly assigned to Intensive Intervention (II) (instructor/trainer led intervention) will lose more weight than individuals assigned to Self Help (SH) only. 2. At the end of 1 year, individuals randomly assigned to II will maintain their weight losses better than individuals assigned to SH. Secondary hypotheses will include examination of main effects and interactions at the end of 6 months with the following secondary dependent measures: treatment adherence (e.g., attendance, food diaries, exercise diaries), blood levels, changes in percent body fat, overall psychological functioning (PEDS-QL 4.0), and eating behaviors as assessed by food frequency checklists.
