Description

Research projects responsive to this solicitation would test intervention
programs delivered in primary care practices, including dental practices, to
improve dietary and physical activity behaviors of pediatric patients in order
to prevent excessive weight gain in children at risk for obesity and/or to
prevent further weight gain or to promote weight loss in children who are
already obese. Intervention programs to be tested should be feasible for
delivery in a wide range of primary care practice settings, such as a
pediatrician's office, a family physician's office, a dentist's office, a
managed care organization, or a primary care clinic. Interventions should
promote reduction in dietary energy intake, increased energy expenditure
through physical activity, increased physical fitness, decreased sedentary
behaviors, and/or modification of other behaviors that would lead to an
increase in the proportion of children with age-appropriate body weight for
stature when evaluated against a control/comparison group not exposed to the
intervention.
