Summary

This study tested a program called HALO for mothers who had weight-loss surgery and have school-aged children (ages 6-12) at risk for obesity. The program gave mothers education and parenting tips to encourage healthy eating and physical activity in their kids. Researchers measured changes in the children's weight and eating habits over 6 months to see if the program helped.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention (HALO program: education and parenting strategies for healthy eating and physical activity)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could provide a practical way for mothers to help their children develop healthier habits after the mother's own weight-loss surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program focuses on behavior change, which can be hard to maintain long-term.
