TEAM UP Trial Summary

This trial is testing two different approaches to childhood obesity screening and counseling, to find out which is more effective. One approach is family-based behavioral treatment (FBT), which targets both child and parents. The other is a staged approach, which begins with prevention counseling by the primary care provider (PCP) and includes assessment of weight status, patient/family motivation and readiness to change, promotion of healthy eating and activity habits, and use of health behavior change strategies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6 years and older who are obese (BMI ≥95th percentile for age and sex), patients of a participating clinic, comfortable with English, willing to change their lifestyle, and can attend scheduled sessions. It focuses on diverse groups including Black children and those insured by Medicaid.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches: an enhanced standard of care (eSOC) alone versus eSOC combined with Family-based Behavioral Treatment (FBT). The goal is to determine the best method for managing childhood obesity in primary care settings among underserved populations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions like diet changes, increased physical activity, and counseling rather than medication, side effects may include initial discomfort adjusting to new habits or emotional responses during treatment.
