Brief Summary:
This study is evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of a 10 session parent-targeted phone-based childhood obesity treatment (n=40). A factorial design (2 X 2 X 2) will be used to examine the acceptability and feasibility of 3 intervention components: 1) the first session being conducted in person, 2) involving a second adult caregiver, and 3) a weekly weighing of child via WiFi-enabled scales.
Detailed Description:
All participants in this study will receive 10 core coaching sessions. These sessions will be conducted between study staff and parents of children ages 8 - 12 who are in the 85th percentile or higher on the BMI scale. The sessions will focus on healthy habits and positive reinforcement for behavior changes within the house that could lead to a reduction in the the child's BMI. In addition to the 10 core sessions, some participants will have difference components of the intervention added to their treatment: conducting the first session in-person, having a second caregiver participate in some of the coaching calls, and/or having the child use a wifi-enabled scale for weekly weigh-ins.
