Summary

This study tests whether a new clinical guideline can help rural children ages 6-11 who have overweight or obesity. About 1,024 children and their families will either receive a family-based healthy lifestyle program (iAmHealthy) or a newsletter, while clinics may also get extra training. The goal is to see if these approaches improve children's BMI, physical activity, and long-term health over 4 years.
