Summary
This study looks at two types of programs—one focused on parents alone and another involving the whole family—to see which works better at reducing obesity risk in African American families. About 120 parent-child pairs will take part. The goal is to find ways to lower obesity and, in turn, reduce the risk of obesity-related cancers.
