Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to compare the impact of a SMART ((specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, or timely) Goal setting protocol on body weight, metabolic parameters (Hemoglobin A1c, lipids), diet quality and physical activity frequency in obese children with prediabetes in the outpatient setting. The main question is if participants using the SMART Goal Setting Protocol (SGSP) will have a significant reduction. The participants randomized to the study group will receive the SGSP, consisting of the SMART Goal Selection Guide (SGSG) and Weekly Goal Monitoring Tool (WGMT), in BMI Z-score, A1c, and dyslipidemia in 6 months compared to controls.

Study Arms (2)
SMART GOAL Arm
EXPERIMENTALThe participants randomized to the study group will receive the SGSP, consisting of the SMART Goal Selection Guide (SGSG) and Weekly Goal Monitoring Tool (WGMT), which will be used in tandem. The study group participants will also be asked to summarize the information discussed during the visit, and then will receive the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time sensitive) Goal Setting Protocol (SGSP).
Standard of Care Arm
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants randomized to this group will receive standard of care. At the end of each visit, the participants in the standard of care (SOC) group will be asked to provide a summary of topics discussed and what they plan to improve on from now and their next visit:
Interventions
The participants randomized to the study group will receive the SGSP, consisting of the SMART Goal Selection Guide (SGSG) and Weekly Goal Monitoring Tool (WGMT), which will be used in tandem. The participant will first receive the SGSG which will highlight 3 domains of SMART goals (exercise, diet, and behavior). Each domain will have 1 predetermined and unchanging primary goal which will serve as the standard for all participants to strive for.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children between ages 10-18 years at baseline visit
