Integrated Motivational Interviewing to Reduce Childhood Obesity in a Large Health Maintenance Organization

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Primary care settings lack interventions to address the childhood obesity epidemic that are feasible and sustainable without requiring significant resources. The investigators propose to modify and test an intervention shown to lower children's body mass index(BMI) so that it is feasible, sustainable, and easily disseminated in a real-world clinical setting. If successful, the investigators will be able to provide recommendations to providers and health care systems that help prioritize future intervention strategies and research investments to reduce obesity in children that can be quickly translated into other settings and widely adopted after the study period, with the goal of halting and reversing the childhood obesity epidemic.

For clinics assigned to mBMI2Kids intervention, Pediatricians will be trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI) and behavioral intervention. Pediatricians will conduct up to 3 sessions with each parent (3 x 10 min) and refer patients electronically to experienced MI-trained lifestyle coaches. With full access to the electronic medical record coaches will call referred families (child's BMI-for-age ≥85th percentile) and deliver a telephonic MI counseling over two years (6 x 45 min) simultaneous with pediatricians. 49 clinics will be selected with 24 participating in the intervention and 25 providing patients with usual care.
