Childhood Obesity To Be Tackled With New and Improved Intervention Program
And in the family component, participating families receive monthly packets containing behavioural tools to assist them in altering their health behaviours.
"The program is designed to be a more comprehensive approach to childhood obesity prevention," Gentile said.
"It results from several lessons we learned, while creating interventions over the past 15 years. One is that focusing on kids can work, but unless the family's on board, you're not going to get much movement.
"So the ideal program would be to work at multiple ecological levels all at once so that people are getting repeated, parallel, overlapping messages at the individual, family and community levels," he added.
The study is posted online in BMC Medicine Evaluation.
