Assessing the short-term outcomes of a community-based intervention for overweight and obese children: The MEND 5-7 programme

Abstract

Participation in the MEND 5-7 programme was associated with beneficial changes in physical, behavioural and psychological outcomes for children with complete sets of measurement data, when implemented in UK community settings under service level conditions. Further investigation is warranted to establish if these findings are replicable under controlled conditions.
