Conditions studied: Obesity, Self-Regulation

In brief

The goal of this project is to measure childhood self-regulation targets known to be associated with obesity risk and poor adherence to medical regimens and to assess whether intervening on these mechanisms can improve self-regulation. The investigators will do so in a pre-existing cohort of low-income school-age children.
