Brief Summary
This study evaluates and compares the efficacy of professional versus peer-based delivery of family-based treatment for childhood overweight and obesity in elementary school aged children. Families will be randomized to receive treatment from professionals or to receive treatment from professionally-trained peer interventionists. Some parents will then be invited to serve as peer interventionists for the next group of families.
