Title: The Added Value of Telephone Follow Up and Home Visits in Helping Children to Grow Up Healthy
Brief Summary: Leading medical organizations have called on primary care pediatricians to take a central role in the prevention of childhood obesity. Weight counseling typically has not been incorporated into routine pediatric practice due to time and training constraints. Brief interventions with simple behavior change messages are needed to reach high-risk children, particularly Latino and Black children who are disproportionately affected by obesity and related comorbidities. Steps to Growing Up Healthy (Added Value) is a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of brief motivational counseling (BMC) delivered by primary care clinicians and the added value of supplementing BMC with monthly contact by community health workers (CHW) in the prevention/reversal of obesity in Latino and Black children ages 2-4 years old. Mother-child dyads (targeted n=150) are recruited for this 12-month randomized trial at an inner-city pediatric primary care clinic and randomized to: 1) BMC delivered by clinicians and nurses at well, sick, and WIC visits with the goal of reducing obesogenic behaviors (BMC); 2) BMC plus monthly phone calls by a CHW (BMC+Phone); or 3) BMC plus monthly home visits by a CHW (BMC+Home). During BMC, the medical team facilitates the selection of a specific goal (i.e., reduce sugar sweetened beverage consumption) that is meaningful to the mother and teaches the mother simple behavioral strategies. Monthly contacts with CHWs are designed to identify and overcome barriers to goal progress. Dyads are assessed at baseline and 12 months and the primary outcome is change in the child's BMI percentile. We hypothesize that BMC+Phone and BMC+Home will produce greater reductions in BMI percentiles than BMC alone and that BMC+Home will produce greater reductions in BMI percentiles than BMC+Phone.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Child is 2-4 years old
* Latino or Black descent by maternal report
* Receiving services through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Mother is younger than 18 years old
* Dad does not live in the Greater Hartford area or if they have plans to move out of the area in the next 12 months
* Child or mother has special needs (dietary, physical, and/or emotional) that would make the intervention inappropriate (e.g. failure to thrive, type 1 diabetes, cystic fibrosis)
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* second- or third-grade pupils
* affiliation with the French Health Care System
* written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria: no inclusion criteria were based on pathological, ethnical or socio-educative indicators
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Families must have at least one child age 2-5 years. The scientific rationale for focusing on this young population is that this age range includes the period often referred to as the "adiposity rebound," which has been identified as one of the critical periods for obesity development. Additionally, children of this age are still subject to strong parent and family influences which may be amenable to intervention.
* At least one parent or caregiver in the household must be overweight (BMI ≥25); however, this does not have to be the participating parent. The scientific rationale for focusing on families with at least one overweight parent is that having an overweight parent increases the child's risk of becoming overweight.
* Parents must be willing to participate in measures and intervention activities, and give consent for child's and his/her own participation.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Parents who are unable to speak English or comprehend standard age-level materials will be excluded. Currently funds are not available to translate and provide the program in Spanish or other languages.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Children born in 2000 who attended schools in Granollers City

Exclusion Criteria:

* Schoolchildren who need special diet for metabolic or digestive disorder, physical activity incapacity, no family acceptance or attendance to school was discontinued
