Study Summary

This trial is studying whether a multilevel intervention can reduce childhood obesity in underserved areas of Los Angeles.

What is being tested?

The study tests a multilevel intervention aimed at promoting healthy eating and physical activity in underserved Los Angeles preschools. The effectiveness will be measured by changes in child BMI z-scores and parent-reported nutrition/physical activity habits.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves lifestyle interventions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be indirect impacts such as resistance to change from staff or parents which could affect the study's outcomes.
