This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The ADAPT Trial is testing a program called COACH that helps children with obesity and their families make healthier choices. The program works at three levels—helping the child learn skills, teaching parents how to support change, and running everything at local community centers where families already gather. Researchers want to see if customizing the program for each community makes it work even better.
Childhood obesity is a serious health problem, especially in rural and low-income communities. This trial tests whether adapting evidence-based programs to fit each community's needs can help more families benefit and reduce health inequalities across the country.

You likely don't qualify if…
You and your child would attend group sessions at a local community center where your child learns healthy habits and you learn strategies to support them—including goal-setting, physical activity, and problem-solving. Both you and your child will participate in light-to-moderate physical activity together during these sessions. You'll also have access to online lessons you can complete at your own pace (about 7 hours total). The program lasts 6 months, and researchers will collect basic health information like height and weight at the start and end.
