Summary

iAmHealthy CPG aims to provide valuable insights into tailored obesity interventions for rural populations through dual interventions: iAmHealthy, a family-based behavioral group program delivered via telehealth, and Healthy Clinic, which enhances clinic processes through provider prompts and skills training. The study employs a stepped wedge design, allowing clinics to transition from a control condition to the intervention in staggered, randomized waves.

The study will evaluate the effectiveness of iAmHealthy compared to a control group, assess the impact of the Healthy Clinic intervention on obesity management at the practice-level, and explore the combined effects of both interventions. Quality improvement concepts and processes will be covered through various topics during monthly virtual learning collaborative meetings once your practice enters the intervention phase. Key outcomes will include changes in children's BMI, physical activity, dietary behaviors, and sleep quality.
