Two Pilot Randomized Trials To Examine Feasibility and Impact of Treated Parents as Peer Interventionists in Family-Based Pediatric Weight Management

Abstract

Two pilot randomized clinical trials suggest parents-as-peer interventionists in FBT may be feasible, efficacious, and delivered at lower costs, with perhaps some additional benefits to serving as a peer interventionist. More robust investigation is warranted of peer treatment delivery models for pediatric weight management.
