Actual (reported)Approximately 17% of US children have obesity resulting in significant childhood co-morbidities and increased lifetime risk of adult obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Guidelines recommend intensive lifestyle programs as first-line treatment, yet few pediatric practices are equipped to provide this. Clinical-community partnerships are well-positioned to address this care gap. This proposal aims to assess whether a community-delivered lifestyle program offered in adjunct to primary care obesity management is feasible, acceptable, effective, and easily implemented in a rural care setting. In this study, approximately 40 children aged 7-13 years old and their caregiver pairs will be recruited from a primary care pediatric clinic. Child-adult dyads will participate in a 24-week program that includes 2 phases, a 12-week usual care phase and a 12-week intervention phase. The intervention phase will include bi-weekly meetings of a community intensive lifestyle program which focuses on healthy diet, daily physical activity, self-esteem and support for individual and family behavior change. A mixed-methods approach using qualitative interviews and study questionnaires, combined with objective measures of adiposity and fitness will assess study outcomes.

Actual (reported)Program Feasibility based on program attendance and completion of assessments to determine if children are willing and interested in to attending a fitness program.
Programmatic feasibility will be defined as delivery of 100% of the sessions with 80% of children attending ≥75% of sessions and 80% completing pre- and post-assessments.

Children-caregiver pairs will participate in a 24-week pilot that includes 2 phases, 12 weeks of usual care, followed by 12 weeks of Foundations of Fitness Program.
Children-caregiver pairs will participate in a 24-week pilot that includes 2 phases, 12 weeks of usual care, followed by 12 weeks of Foundations of Fitness Program.
The Foundations of Fitness Program is a 12 week, bi-weekly community intensive lifestyle program which focuses on healthy diet, daily physical activity, self-esteem and support for individual and family behavior change, components supported by USPSTF evidence review. Class sessions, which involve both parent/caregiver and child will include structured fitness activities, hands on nutrition, cooking, shopping and meal planning and facilitated discussions about goal setting, self-monitoring, stimulus control and healthy homes and families. Content will be offered in a context that supports self-esteem and behavior change. The program was developed by the Carter Community Building Association (CCBA) in collaboration with the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Weight \& Wellness Center research core.
