Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This 12-week program was designed based on input from Petersburg, VA community residents, collected through various methods over a two-year period. The 12 week program is designed to impact three levels: individual, family and community. At the individual level, participants receive print material lessons related to healthy eating and increasing physical activity, as well as videos that model these lessons; participants will also have access to a peer support coach who will contact them on a biweekly basis and are trained to help them identify and reach their own personal health goals. At the family level, participants are encouraged to share all of the information they receive as a part of this program with the rest of their family, and are asked to begin walking regularly and to attend fitness and nutrition classes held within their neighborhood (by the WE program) with family members. On a community level, local church groups and neighborhood organizations will receive assistance in launching walking clubs, and all community residents are invited to attend the physical activity and nutrition classes that the WE project hosts within the community.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

12 years to 65 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age between 18-65 years.
  • Must have a school going child between 12-17 living in the home.
  • BMI between 25 and 50 kg/m2.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • report not being able to walk 2 blocks (1/4 mile) without stopping
  • currently participating in another weight loss program
  • taking a weight loss medication
  • have a history of bariatric surgery
  • pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the intervention timeframe
  • report an unsupervised heart condition, chest pain during periods of rest or activity, or loss of consciousness on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
  • report a medical condition that would jeopardize their safety if involved in a weight management program with diet and exercise guidelines (e.g., uncontrolled heart problem)
  • fail medical screening by study medical staff)
  • report conditions that, in the judgment of the PI, would render the participant unlikely to follow the study protocol (e.g., planned move from the area, dementia, substance abuse).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Intervention-Wellness Engagement Program

The group assigned to the intervention arm will receive treatment as described below for a twelve week period:

Weekly lessons related to healthy eating and physical activity Biweekly check-in calls with a trained peer support coach Access to neighborhood wide physical activity and nutritional education events
Behavioral: Wellness Engagement Program
This intervention is an evidence based and community informed program designed to stimulate physical activity and increase healthy food choices among participants. The intervention includes weekly lessons, personal support in the form of biweekly check in calls with a peer support coach and weekly physical activity and nutrition classes.
No Intervention: Delayed treatment control group
The delayed treatment control group will not receive the intervention for measurement purposes; however the intervention as described will be administered to this group upon conclusion of the 12 week period for the intervention group.
