This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests the Get Up & Go healthy lifestyle program, which helps children and families learn better eating and exercise habits. Some children will start the program right away, while others will wait three months to begin. Researchers want to understand how well this community-based program works for children with obesity or overweight.
Childhood obesity is a growing health problem. This trial aims to measure whether a structured, family-focused healthy lifestyle program can help children lose weight and develop healthier habits over time.

If you enroll, your family will attend a one-hour visit before the program starts for measurements and health checks. Then your child will either start the Get Up & Go program right away or wait three months before beginning—this is decided randomly. The program itself includes healthy lifestyle education and activities for both children and parents to help build better eating and exercise habits.
