Efficacious treatments for children with obesity have not been broadly disseminated. The Stanford Pediatric Weight Control Program (SPWCP) is grounded in behavioral theory and prior observations, follows a proven treatment model, and is consistent with the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations. It has shown high levels of participation and retention and reductions in BMI and percent of median BMI for age and sex comparable to many studied programs, as well as improvements in physiological risk factors, psychological measures, and diet, activity, and screen time behaviors in children with obesity when delivered as a real-world clinical program with sociodemographically diverse families in multiple clinic and community settings. The Stanford CORD 3.0 Project proposes to use technology, design, behavioral theory, and biomedical business innovation strategies to package and scale the SPWCP to reach low-income children throughout the United States. Efficacy and success of implementation of the new packaged program will be tested in a one-arm pilot implementation study when delivered by community partners.
