The purpose of this research is to develop a coordinated program (Dyad Plus) that would help
to facilitate self-monitoring, positive communication, joint problem solving, and social
support to increase physical activity, healthy eating, and weight loss. Participants of the
Brenner FIT (Families In Training) pediatric weight management program and their
parent/guardian will co-enroll in weight loss programs. Parents/guardians will receive the
components of By Design Essentials.

support to increase physical activity, healthy eating, and weight loss. Participants of the
Brenner FIT (Families In Training) pediatric weight management program and their
parent/guardian will co-enroll in weight loss programs. Parents/guardians will receive the

Participation in this study will involve participation in six, one-hour sessions in addition
to those required by your weight loss program. These sessions will work to facilitate an
increase in self-monitoring, positive communication, problem solving, and social support to
increase healthy physical activity and eating behaviors to increase the effectiveness of the
weight loss programs. Joint goal setting and tracking will be enabled by commercially
available devices and apps. Each caregiver and child will receive an activity monitor,
activity app, and a food app (digital food diary) that allows self-monitoring of consumption
and "social accountability," which will allow caregivers and the Brenner FIT team to monitor
and encourage. Furthermore, two home visits will be conducted to evaluation the home food and
activity environments to inform tailored feedback to families.
Brenner FIT is a family-based pediatric weight management clinic for youth 2-18 years old
referred by a physician for overweight or obesity.11-14 By Design is an adult (>18yrs) weight
loss clinic that includes tailored dietary and physical activity behavioral counseling. The
preliminary data suggest that most adolescent youth who enroll in Brenner FIT have at least
one adult caregiver who is eligible and would benefit from enrollment in By Design
Essentials.
