The Effectiveness of Family-based Weight Loss Treatment Implemented in Primary Care Centers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Family-based treatment and Usual Care for Pediatric Obesity. Completed, enrolled 1,010 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to translate an evidence-based family-based weight loss treatment for childhood obesity (FBT) into primary care settings using co-located interventionists to serve as a model for care delivered within a patient-centered medical home. FBT will be compared to usual care (UC), and the families will be followed for a 2 year period to assess between group differences in the targeted child and parent outcomes, weight changes in non-targeted siblings who are overweight/obese, parent and child changes in delay of gratification, and how these changes relate to weight loss, and the assessment of how provider attitudes predict their intention to use FBT in the future. The results of this study will inform future dissemination and implementation of FBT into primary care settings.

Interventions
Family based treatment as the invention to randomized participants. Family Based treatment utilizes behavior change techniques to target family-wide changes in diet and physical activity habits with the goal of promoting weight loss and subsequently healthy weight maintenance in all participants. Participants will have visits between 30 to 60 minutes as frequent as weekly and no longer than monthly over the two year study
Usual care is a treatment that is normally provided to patients in pediatric offices by a pediatrician, physician assistant, or other primary care staff.
