Parent and Family Obesity Intervention in Reducing Obesity Risk in Racial Ethnic Minority Families
United States120 participantsStarted 2019-07-16
Plain-language summary
This clinical trial compares the effects of parent/caregiver-focused programs to family-focused programs in reducing obesity risk in racial ethnic minority families. Obesity tends to run in families, thus family-based interventions have been strongly recommended. Parent and family obesity programs may reduce obesity risk and ultimately reduce the risk of obesity-related cancer.
