Reporting Groups

	Description
NOURISH	Only parents participated in the weekly intervention. Intervention content was grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT); the influence of social learning on behavioral outcomes (e.g., parent's modeling of healthy behavior) was emphasized. Weekly topics included implementing healthy lifestyle behaviors, authoritarian parenting approaches, and strategies for overcoming barriers to change. Parents received pedometers for themselves and 1 of their children. The first 2 waves and second 2 waves of participants received a 12 and 6 week face-to-face intervention (NOURISH), respectively. A one-hour booster session was available for all intervention participants 2 months after completion of the interventions.
Wellness Group	Only parents participated in the placebo control group which involved attending a group session moderated by an independent interventionist. This interventionist was blinded to the Specific Aims and hypotheses of this study. The session addressed the role of diet and exercise in pediatric overweight. In addition, control parents received pedometers (and instructions on their use) for themselves and 1 of their children. Finally, control participants were mailed publicly available brochures on pediatric overweight on 2 occasions during the study. Control participants were also sent one additional packet of information (essentially a review of previous mail outs) 2 months after post-testing.
