The prevention and treatment of childhood obesityQuality and Safety in Health Care, 12
Objective: To assess the acceptability and effectiveness ofEpstein’s family-based behavioural treatment (FBBT) for childhoodobesity in a medical setting in Iceland. Methods: Participantswere 16 obese children (BMI > 2.4 SDS), aged 8-12 years, and a parentparticipating with each child. Families were randomly assigned to 4 months oftreatment at two different times. One group started treatment right away, andthe other group had a delayed treatment onset of 12 months during which theparticipants received standard care. Weight, height and BMI were assessed atbaseline, 4 months, 12 months and 16 months. The main outcomes were ratings oftreatment acceptability (measured post treatment) and child changes in body massindex standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS). Results: For theeight children in the standard care group, BMI-SDS remained constant frombaseline until starting treatment at 12 months. Thirteen families completedtreatment, during which the children lowered their BMI-SDS. The children firstreceiving treatment (n = 7) maintained their BMI-SDS from post-treatment to the1-year follow-up. Conclusions: Treatment was found acceptableand effects were promising. These results provide substantiation for a largerstudy of treatment effects.
