Summary

This study tests a practical program that uses motivational interviewing—a supportive counseling style—to help children ages 2-8 with overweight or obesity lower their body mass index (BMI). About 6,600 children from Kaiser Permanente clinics will take part, with some clinics offering the program and others providing usual care. The goal is to see if this approach can work in everyday healthcare settings without needing extra resources.
