Brief Summary

This study compares the feasibility and efficacy of an individually tailored, child-centered, Internet-based behavioral intervention with that of general Internet-based health information for improving health behaviors and relative weight in Chinese-American children during a 6-month period. A total of 60 children (age 10-14) and their families will be randomized to either the intervention group or control group. The intervention is based on the Social Cognitive Theory and Transtheoretical Model.
