NCT00412165

Brief Summary

This randomized control study (sponsored by the NIH, NIDDK) is aimed at reducing BMI in overweight adolescents at risk for the development of type 2 diabetes. The study will examine whether an integrated primary care, web and cell-phone-based intervention can produce initial and sustained improvements in anthropometric, behavioral, metabolic, and physiological outcomes in overweight adolescents. The primary goal is to reduce BMI (Body Mass Index)in overweight adolescents.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the effect, at 12 months, of the 3 intensities of the PACEi-DP intervention on Body Mass Index (BMI) among male & female adolescents.

    baseline, 6 mo, 12 mo

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • at 6 and 12 months,the impact of the PACEi-DP interventions on:metabolic and physiological manifestations of insulin resistance

    6 mo, 12 mo

  • anthropometric measures including BMI at 6 months, waist to hip ratio at 6 and 12 months, percent body fat (DEXA) at 6 and 12 months,and

    6 mo, 12 mo

  • behavioral measures of diet and physical activity.

    6 mo, 12 mo

Study Arms (4)

usual care

NO INTERVENTION

Usual care arm receives standard physical activity, nutrition and weight loss information from their primary care provider. The study offers and pays for a series of weight management sessions provided by Rady's Children's Hospital and Health Center's Nutrition Dept.

Intervention - Web

EXPERIMENTAL

This group receives access to a program internet site with weekly challenges aimed at weight loss through increased physical activity and nutrition.

Behavioral: Weekly access to interactive web site

Intervention - Group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group receives access to a program internet site with weekly challenges aimed at weight loss through increased physical activity and nutrition and has access to monthly group session with other teen and parent participants.

Behavioral: Group

Intervention - Cell Phone

EXPERIMENTAL

This group receives access to a program internet site with weekly challenges aimed at weight loss through increased physical activity and nutrition and are provided with cell phones to use during the program. The cell phone allows for the transfer of text messages from the study to the participant that are tailored to their health goals. In addition, self-monitoring and uploading capabilities to the program website are included.

Behavioral: Cell Phone

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Criteria for participation in the study include:
  • Being overweight (BMI \> 85th percentile for age and sex, weight for height \>85th percentile, or weight \>120% of ideal for height). In addition, at least half of the study participants will have a BMI \> 95th percentile for age and sex. Study participants will have a maximum body weight of 285 pounds.
  • Adolescent subjects must also have at least two of the following risk factors:
  • family history of type 2 diabetes in a first-or second-degree relative,
  • race/ethnicity of American Indian, African-American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, or
  • signs of insulin resistance (acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or polycystic ovarian syndrome).
  • In addition, adolescent subjects must be able to read and speak English or Spanish, have access to the Internet at home, school, or work, be reachable at a telephone number, be willing to participate in monthly 90-minute group meetings, have plans to stay in the San Diego area for the one-year study period, and have an English or Spanish speaking parent/guardian also willing to participate in the study.
  • Parental consent (obtained in parents primary language) and subject assent is also required.
  • Participants must have a parent or guardian agree to enroll who is able to speak and read in English or Spanish, has ongoing access and uses the internet, and plans to reside in San Diego for the length of the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects will be excluded from participation if they have any of the following conditions:
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy
  • Cardiovascular problem, musculoskeletal problem or any medical condition that would limit their ability to comply with physical activity or dietary recommendations.
  • Patients in foster care will be ineligible due to difficulty in obtaining follow-up measures.
