Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of Bangladeshi and Pakistani families completing the adapted children's weight management programme. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The proportion of all families completing the adapted children's weight management programme and all families completing the standard programme will be calculated. Other secondary outcome measures for the feasibility study are: 1. Height and weight (to calculate BMI); waist circumference; bioimpedance analysis (to derive percentage body fat) 2. Usual patterns of dietary intake (assessed using the Children's Dietary Questionnaire, which will be adapted for use in the study population) 3. Physical activity (objectively measured with an Actigraph accelerometer over a 5-day period, including a weekend) 4. Parent-reported sedentary activities 5. Health-related quality of life (assessed using the PedsQL) 6. A health utility measure (CHU 9D) 7. Body image (assessed using the Figure Rating Scale, adapted for use in the study population) 8. Constructs of self-concept (assessed using the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for the Young for ages 4-7, and the Self-Perception Profile for Children for ages 8-11). These measures will be undertaken at three time points: baseline, after the weight management programme is completed, and 6 months after programme completion. | — |
