About This Obesity, Childhood Study in The Bronx

Using a two-group randomized study design, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the adapted family-centered mHealth tool on child BMI z-score (primary outcome), child dietary behaviors, and parental feeding practices, from baseline to 12-month follow-up, among 200 child-parent dyads. It is hypothesized that children in the experimental group will demonstrate larger BMI-z score improvements between baseline and 12-month follow-up compared to children in the comparison group.
