Texts and family classes aim to tame childhood obesity in Low-Income homes

This study looks at whether text messages and a program called Building Healthy Families can help lower-income families with a child who has obesity. About 600 families will be invited through their doctor's records and then offered the program, which teaches healthy eating, physical activity, and lifestyle habits. The goal is to see how many families join and stick with the program, and whether it helps children and parents manage their weight.
