Interventions

CHAMPIONBEHAVIORAL

The CHAMPION program is an intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatment (IHBLT), formed through the integration of the Healthy Weight Clinic IHBLT and with MGB's pediatric Asthma Population Health Management Program. It consists of 30 hours of contact time with the CHAMPION team (physician, dietician, community health worker), consistent with the USPSTF and AAP recommendations, monthly individual clinic visits with the team (in person or virtual, per randomization), health coaching calls with a community health worker and/or registered dietician, monthly group sessions (in the first six months), and educational materials for families that reinforce healthy lifestyle behaviors and provide self-management education. In this study, all participants will participate in CHAMPION, but one arm will receive the experimental form (delivery via telehealth) and the other arm will receive the active comparator (delivery via telehealth).
