CHAMPION Program for Childhood Obesity and Asthma

This study is testing the CHAMPION program, which combines healthy lifestyle and asthma management, for children who are overweight or have obesity and also have asthma. Researchers want to see if delivering this program online is as effective as delivering it in person. The study aims to enroll 500 children between 4 and 17 years old who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) at or above the 85th percentile and a diagnosis of asthma. Success will be measured by changes in your child's BMI, BMI z-score (a measure comparing your child's BMI to other children their age and sex), and asthma control over 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
