Prevention and Treatment of Childhood Obesity in Primary Care Settings: Research projects responsive to this solicitation would test intervention programs delivered in primary care practices, including dental practices, to improve dietary and physical activity behaviors of pediatric patients in order to prevent excessive weight gain in children at risk for obesity and/or to prevent further weight gain or to promote weight loss in children who are already obese. Intervention programs to be tested should be feasible for delivery in a wide range of primary care practice settings, such as a pediatrician's office, a family physician's office, a dentist's office, a managed care organization, or a primary care clinic. Interventions should promote reduction in dietary energy intake, increased energy expenditure through physical activity, increased physical fitness, decreased sedentary behaviors, and/or modification of other behaviors that would lead to an increase in the proportion of children with age-appropriate body weight for stature when evaluated against a control/comparison group not exposed to the intervention.
