Summary

This study looks at a program called Building Healthy Families, designed to help children ages 5-13 who are overweight or obese, along with their parents. The program focuses on healthy eating, physical activity, and lifestyle changes for the whole family. Researchers want to see if providing extra support to community teams helps them deliver the program more effectively in rural areas.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Building Healthy Families Program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a scalable, effective way to help rural families manage childhood obesity and improve healthy habits.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a direct treatment trial. It focuses on how well the program is delivered, not on proving weight loss outcomes. Results may vary across communities.

Participants

About 150 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Jun 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

5 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Communities must respond to a call for proposals by submitting a letter of intent and a brief narrative describing the local need for BHF and readiness for implementation. Community eligibility for this trial includes: * Any community is eligible to apply for the competitive BHF RFA process; * BHF RFA scoring prioritizes community narratives that meet the following criteria: (1)Childhood obesity prevention and treatment are a priority health concern; (2) Communities and community-based organizations located in rural, frontier, or micropolitan areas, and/or that provide services to families from these areas; (3) Communities and community-based organizations that provide services or reach families in other low-resource contexts, such as areas with limited access to evidence-based health promotion and disease prevention/treatment interventions. * The community is willing to be randomized to either study condition. * The community is willing to form a Community Implementation Team (CIT) to implement BHF. Eligibility for Community Implementation Teams (CIT) includes: * Adults, age 18 years or older * Employed by or affiliated with the community-based organizations that applied and were selected through the bundled adoption strategy (i.e., LOI/RFA) process. BHF Program Family Eligibility: * Must have at least one child between the ages of 5 and 13 years with a BMI at or above the 85th percentile; * One parent or caregiver must agree to attend BHF sessions with the child.
