Actual (reported)Technology-Based Obesity Prevention Project (TeBOPP) is a bilingual (English/Spanish) family-based educational intervention that will use a novel videogame format to educate underserved inner city Latino children and adolescent patients and their parents about healthy diet and exercise. To the best of our knowledge this is the first family focused obesity prevention educational intervention using a gaming scenario where both parents and children/teens (8-15 years) participate simultaneously. The goals are to improve parent-child (teen) knowledge regarding healthy food habits and create a change in attitude towards healthy eating and exercise. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that game-based avatars (i.e., a graphical representation of an individual within a virtual space) can create change in knowledge and attitude towards healthy eating and exercise.

This is the intervention group. They will be given the opportunity to play an interactive educational video game for teaching health and nutrition.
This is the control group that will receive only printed information about health and nutrition and will not be given the opportunity to play the educational video game.
The intervention will be in the form of a videogame in which both parent and their children will participate. The game incorporates lessons from research on avatars (e.g., the Proteus Effect), and game dynamics to explore ways to increase healthy eating and exercise.
