Development of the DRIVE Curriculum to Address Childhood Obesity Risk Factors
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pediatric Obesity
In brief
The purpose of this study is to help overweight or obese children to maintain or reduce their body mass index (BMI) through the home-based parent training program the investigators developed called DRIVE. The investigators hypothesize that children from families that receive the DRIVE program will show greater maintenance or improvement in their BMIs than families who do not receive DRIVE.
