“…These findings are consistent with other group-based group weight loss programs [22,23]. "Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids," a community randomized controlled trial, highlighted significant community-based healthy lifestyle intervention effects for fathers' weight loss [22]. Leahey et al (2014) found that weight loss was enhanced with optional group sessions [24].…”

“…A similar percentage of women in HW and SOH lost 5% or more of their body weight (22.5% and 19.7%, respectively) [12]. These findings are consistent with other group-based group weight loss programs [22,23]. "Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids," a community randomized controlled trial, highlighted significant community-based healthy lifestyle intervention effects for fathers' weight loss [22].…”

“…As previously mentioned, 30.4% of the study sample dropped out of the project. However, these numbers are not excessive compared to other published group-based weight loss studies with similar study durations [22]. In addition to those lost to follow up, it is not clear whether this model would be successful in other rural counties, with men, or with urban and/or higher socioeconomic populations.…”

“…Parent-only treatment has also been found superior to (Munsch et al, 2008), and noninferior to traditional parent and child FBT, and improved effects were shown with a parent-centered dietary intervention (Collins et al, 2011;Okely et al, 2010). Parent-only approaches have been found superior to waitlist control conditions (Bean et al, 2012;Jansen et al, 2011, Moens & Braet, 2012, including a fatheronly treatment (Morgan et al, 2014), and favorable outcomes have been shown with a predominantly African American population (Mazzeo et al, 2014). It is particularly effective when added to a lifestyle program (Golley et al, 2007), and the addition of parent skills training to behavioral programs (Magarey et al, 2011) and FBT (Israel et al, 1985) appear to bolster efficacy of treatments.…”

“…This approach emphasizes the importance of parental modeling and authority over the home environment (Golan & Weizman, 2001), as well as engaging the parents as agents of change (Apter, Fainaru, Golan, & Weizman, 1998). Parent-only approaches have been tested in 14 trials included in this review (Apter et al, 1998;Bean, Wilson, Thornton, Kelly, & Mazzeo, 2012;Collins et al, 2011;Golan & Crow, 2004;Golan, Kaufman, & Shahar, 2006;Golley, Magarey, Baur, Steinbeck, & Daniels, 2007;Janicke et al, 2008;Jansen, Mulkens, & Jansen, 2011;Magarey et al, 2011;Mazzeo et al, 2014;Moens & Braet, 2012;Morgan et al, 2014;Munsch et al, 2008;Okely et al, 2010;Shelton et al, 2007). In two trials, Golan and colleagues found FBT with parents as the agents of change more effective than FBT with children as the agents of change for both children (Golan et al, 2006) and adolescents (Apter et al, 1998), with the parentfocused treatment remaining superior at 7-year follow-up (Golan & Crow, 2004), although it should be noted that this study was conducted within a different region and culture (Israel with two-parent families).…”

Childhood obesity is associated with increased medical and psychosocial consequences and mortality and effective interventions are urgently needed. Effective interventions are urgently needed. This article reviews the evidence for psychological treatments of overweight and obesity in child and adolescent populations. Studies were identified through searches of online databases and reference sections of relevant review articles and metaanalyses. Treatment efficacy was assessed using established criteria, and treatments were categorized as well-established, probably efficacious, possibly efficacious, experimental, or of questionable efficacy. Well-established treatments included family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) and Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment for children. Possibly efficacious treatments include Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment for adolescents, FBT-Guided SelfHelp for children, and Behavioral Weight Loss treatment with family involvement for toddlers, children, and adolescents. Appetite awareness training and regulation of cues treatments are considered experimental. No treatments are considered probably efficacious, or of questionable efficacy. All treatments considered efficacious are multicomponent interventions that include dietary and physical activity modifications and utilize behavioral strategies. Treatment is optimized if family members are specifically targeted in treatment. Research supports the use of multicomponent lifestyle interventions, with FBT and Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment being the most widely supported treatment types. Additional research is needed to test a stepped care model for treatment and to establish the ideal dosage (i.e., number and length of sessions), duration, and intensity of treatments for long-term sustainability of healthy weight management. To improve access to care, the optimal methods to enhance the scalability and implementability of treatments into community and clinical settings need to be established.

Background Obesity prevention is an international public health priority. The prevalence of obesity and overweight is increasing in child populations throughout the world, impacting on short and long-term health. Obesity prevention strategies for children can change behaviour but efficacy in terms of preventing obesity remains poorly understood. Objectives To assess the effectiveness of interventions designed to prevent obesity in childhood through diet, physical activity and/or lifestyle and social support. Search strategy MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL and CENTRAL were searched from 1990 to February 2005. Non-English language papers were included and experts contacted. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials and controlled clinical trials with minimum duration twelve weeks. Data collection and analysis Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Main results Twenty-two studies were included; ten long-term (at least 12 months) and twelve short-term (12 weeks to 12 months). Nineteen were school/preschool-based interventions, one was a community-based intervention targeting low-income families, and two were familybased interventions targeting non-obese children of obese or overweight parents. Six of the ten long-term studies combined dietary education and physical activity interventions; five resulted in no difference in overweight status between groups and one resulted in improvements for girls receiving the intervention, but not boys. Two studies Interventions for preventing obesity in children (Review)
