Immediate treatment group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe immediate treatment group begins the 5-month treatment immediately after baseline assessment.
Delayed Treatment Group
OTHERThe delayed treatment group serves as the control group. This group starts treatment 5 months after the baseline assessment. No intervention is involved during this 5-month waiting period. After 5 months, the delayed group is assessed for the second time and then begins the 5-month treatment.
Interventions
The immediate treatment group starts the 5-month treatment right after baseline assessment.
The delayed treatment group does not start treatment immediately after the baseline assessment. This group serves as the control group, by not receiving any treatment for 5 months. After the 5 months, the delayed group participants are asked to come in for a second assessment that involves completion of surveys and measurement of height, weight, and physical activity level. After this assessment is completed, the delayed group participants can begin the 5-month treatment.
