Eating Better Together for Childhood Obesity

This study, called "Eating Better Together," is a 6-month program for children aged 4 to 10 who have childhood obesity (BMI > 85th percentile). It aims to help families learn about healthy eating and activity. Participants will receive a behavioral intervention called Prevention Plus, which includes in-person meetings and phone calls with a health coach. They will also get home deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables. The study is looking to see how many eligible families participate and how many decline. To join, your child must be a patient at Cherokee Health Systems in Cherokee Mills, and you, as their caregiver, must be over 18, live with the child, and be able to read and speak English. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures

  • Project Reach, the number of participants who participate in the studythrough study completion, an average of 6 months

    Measurement in project reach will aid in the evaluation of the implementation process for the study, and will help us determine the feasibility of a larger study. Reach will be determined using the data from the EHR at CHS. Specifically, investigators will use data reports from the EHR to determine the number of participants who participate in the study.
