Brief Summary
The prevalence of overweight children has increased significantly over the past 3 decades and 3 out of every 4 overweight children become obese adults. Additionally, overweight children are now at risk for developing type-2 diabetes while still in their youth. To address the issue of childhood weight management, Golan and colleagues provided a model for intervention development that targets parents as an exclusive agent of change when attempting to treat weight issues for children under 12 years of age. The Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) Weight Management Program (WMP) developed Family Connections, a condensed two-session program, based on the Golan model, for parents of children between the ages of 8-12 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than the 85 percentile for age and gender. There is a need to determine if the content of Golan's model can be translated into a practical intervention to be used in usual pediatric weight management practice. The Family Connections study uses three arms to determine the effectiveness of healthy eating and active living messages.
