TELE-GEN Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Intervention ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Eligible overweight/obese children and their overweight/obese parent (N=20 families) will receive the same telehealth diabetes prevention intervention based on Power to Prevent and delivered by a trained lifestyle coach. Families will meet weekly for 11-weeks (60-min sessions), and then monthly (60-min sessions) for 4 pilot behavioral reinforcement maintenance sessions (15 sessions total). Participants will meet in their respective groups (n=5 families per group) via videoconference using Wi-Fi-enabled tablets with cellular connectivity for the entire intervention. Sessions will consist of nutrition and physical activity behavior change strategies (20 min), problem solving and decision-making skills to circumvent barriers to behavioral change (20 min), and family goal setting and action planning (20 min). Assessment measures will be collected from the child and parent participants at baseline, 12-weeks (post-intervention), and 30-weeks (follow-up).
