Interventions
The 16-session weekly curriculum will have five components: 1) strategies for monitoring food intake and reducing calories; 2) identifying and controlling both personal and social cues for unhealthy eating behaviors; 3) the role of stress in unhealthy eating and relapse prevention; 4) strategies for monitoring and improving physical activity and sedentary behaviors; and 5) strategies to improve family support and cohesion. Parents and children will be divided into separate, 2-hour sessions most weeks. The sessions will be co-facilitated by trained CHWs and research staff members. As children of different ages will be participating, we will ensure enough staff are present to keep youth sessions well-coordinated in order to engage all ages. All sessions will be held in community locations convenient to the families, such as YMCAs, faith-based institutions, federally qualified health centers, etc.
