Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to refine and optimize an obesity intervention with rural underserved Latino children and their parents that combines a standard family-based behavioral approach, the gold standard for pediatric obesity treatment, with a mindfulness approach focusing on stress reduction (now ADAPT+).
Detailed description
Latino youth have the highest prevalence of obesity as compared to Black or White youth, and are at high risk for adult obesity-related complications including cardiovascular disease. Moreover, Latino youth living in rural communities have an increased risk of adult obesity and mortality due to obesity-related chronic disease than Latinos living elsewhere. The investigators synthesized the prior childhood obesity intervention and tailored the evidence informed, theory-based, multi-family behavioral intervention, Adapting Diet and Action for Everyone (ADAPT), to the acculturation status, language, and national origin of the target population - obese, school-aged (8-12 years old) Latino youth and their parents living in rural areas. However, because the role of parent stress on obesity has not been adequately addressed in interventions aimed at reducing obesity in Latino youth, it is argued that mindfulness parent stress reduction strategies may be a key component to improving eating and physical activity (PA) behaviors in both children and their parents. This study proposes a refinement and optimization of the original ADAPT obesity intervention protocol to include mindfulness parent stress reduction strategies (now ADAPT+) and feasibility assessment of ADAPT+ implementation. Aim 1: Refinement of ADAPT+ (ADAPT + mindfulness parent stress reduction). Aim 1A and Aim 1B were focus groups with promotoras from the target communities and parents. The intervention manual was refined based on the qualitative feedback. Aim 1C further refines the manual via a small one parent-child cohort. Data collected at Aim 1C was used to finalize and optimize a culturally acceptable ADAPT+ evaluated in Aim 2. Aim 2: Feasibility and Acceptability trial. A randomized trial testing feasibility of ADAPT+ vs. Enhanced Usual Care (EUC) conducted in two rural communities. It is anticipated that compared to EUC, ADAPT+ dyads will have a lower attrition rate and will report greater satisfaction. The investigators also explore whether the eating and stress indices are sensitive to the intervention.
Interventions
Enhanced Usual Care is an abbreviated version of the full ADAPT+ intervention in which parents are engaged in a one-time, two hour information session to also learn knowledge and skills to improve the health and lifestyle behaviors for their child and for themselves.
ADAPT+ is designed as an 6-week intervention. For each session, children and parents participate in separate 1.5-hour group meetings, followed by a joint goal setting session. Practical strategies related to improving diet and physical activity as well as the role of dealing with parent stress-related factors related to making long-lasting behavioral changes in the family are addressed.

Aim 2 includes randomization to a comparison group - 48 parent-child dyads (96 individuals) anticipated for enrollment. Aim 2 was the small pilot RCT
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Child with a BMI %ile of 85 or higher. * The target parent is at least 18 years old, is the main meal preparer, speaks and reads Spanish at a minimum of a 4th grade reading level (able to follow basic instructions in Spanish), and able to perform simple physical exercises.
Exclusion criteria
* A child who has a medical/developmental condition that precludes weight loss using conventional diet and PA methods. * A child has been on antibiotics or steroids in the previous three months. * The parent is ineligible if he/she is non-ambulatory, is pregnant, or has a medical condition that may be negatively impacted by PA.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability | 6 weeks after baseline | Acceptability was measured by a program satisfaction survey at the end of the intervention. Items were rated on a scale from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very) enjoyable, comfortable, receptive, relevant, or helpful, depending on the item's content. A mean score was calculated using all items to reflect overall satisfaction, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Only parents completed the program satisfaction survey. Minimum score: 1 Maximum score: 4 Higher scores mean better outcomes. |
| Feasibility - Accrual Rates | 6 weeks after baseline | Percent of families approached who agreed to participate. This was done at the parent/dyad level. |
| Feasibility - Number of Participants Attending 75%+ Sessions | 6 weeks after baseline | Number of participants who completed at least 75% of the program sessions. This was done at the parent/dyad level. |
| Retention Over Time (From Baseline to Post-assessment) | From baseline to post-assessment (6-weeks) | Percentage of families retained for post-intervention assessment |
| Retention Over Time (From Baseline to 3-month Follow-up) | From baseline to 3-month follow-up | Percentage of families retained for 3-month follow-up assessment |

Outcome results
Acceptability
Acceptability was measured by a program satisfaction survey at the end of the intervention. Items were rated on a scale from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very) enjoyable, comfortable, receptive, relevant, or helpful, depending on the item's content. A mean score was calculated using all items to reflect overall satisfaction, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Only parents completed the program satisfaction survey. Minimum score: 1 Maximum score: 4 Higher scores mean better outcomes.
