Summary

This study tests whether a Family Navigator—a trained helper who connects families to resources like parking passes and text reminders—can reduce dropout from pediatric obesity programs. About 108 children aged 6–17 and their caregivers will either get usual care alone or usual care plus a Navigator for 12 months. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and helpful, so a larger trial can be planned.
