Brief Summary

Stanford GOALS is a large-scale, community-based randomized controlled trial of an innovative, interdisciplinary, multi-component, multi-level, multi-setting (MMM) approach to treating overweight and obese children. Primary Research Question: Will a 3-year, innovative, interdisciplinary, multi-component, multi-level, multi-setting (MMM) community-based intervention to treat overweight and obese children significantly reduce BMI compared to an enhanced standard care/health and nutrition education active comparison intervention?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • body mass index trajectory (change)

    slope of measured weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters

    baseline, 1, 2 and 3 years

Secondary Outcomes (25)

  • waist circumference

    baseline, 1, 2 and 3 years

  • triceps skinfold thickness

    baseline, 1, 2 and 3 years

  • Percent median BMI for age and sex (calculated from BMI)

    baseline, 1, 2, and 3 years

  • Waist-to-Height Ratio

    baseline, 1, 2 and 3 years

  • Percent body fat (estimated)

    baseline, 1, 2, and 3 years

  • +20 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

multi-component, multi-level, multi-setting (MMM)

EXPERIMENTAL

1. a theory-based community team sports program designed specifically for overweight and obese children, 2. a home-based family intervention to reduce screen time, alter the home food/eating environment, and promote self-regulatory skills for eating and activity behavior change, and 3. a primary care provider behavioral counseling intervention linked to the community and home interventions.

Behavioral: MMM

Health and Nutrition Education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Enhanced standard care/health and nutrition education intervention: 1. notification of primary care providers about metabolic measures and blood pressure 2. state-of-the-art information-based health and nutrition education, including semi-annual home counseling visits, monthly health education newsletters for children and for parents/guardians, and a series of quarterly, community-based evening health lectures and "Family Fun Nights"

  • Have a condition limiting their participation in the interventions (e.g., unable to participate in routine physical education classes at school, requiring oxygen supplementation for exertion, developmental or physical disability preventing participation in interventions, children or parents/guardians who cannot medically participate in mild dietary restrictions and/or increased physical activity for any reason);
  • Have a condition limiting participation in the assessments (child or primary caregiver not able to read surveys in English or Spanish, child two or more grade levels delayed in school for reading and writing in her native language);
  • Are unable to read, understand or complete informed consent in English or Spanish;
  • Plan to move from the San Francisco Bay Area within the next 36 months.
