Parent and Family Obesity Intervention in Reducing Obesity Risk in Racial Ethnic Minority Families
A Family-Based Approach to Reducing Obesity Risk Among African American Families
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This clinical trial compares the effects of parent/caregiver-focused programs to family-focused programs in reducing obesity risk in racial ethnic minority families. Obesity tends to run in families, thus family-based interventions have been strongly recommended. Parent and family obesity programs may reduce obesity risk and ultimately reduce the risk of obesity-related cancer.
