TEAM UP Research Study

Is your family ready to get healthier? The holidays are right around the corner, but don’t let that stop you from making better choices and living a healthier lifestyle!

The TEAM UP research study is designed to help children and families lose weight and become healthier through healthy eating and physical activity. Families who participate in the TEAM UP study will meet for visits with their pediatrician and/or a health coach at one of our participating locations or virtually by telehealth.

Eligible families will be placed in one of two programs for 12 months:

• eSOC: Enhanced Standard of Care
  All families will receive eSOC, which means they will take part in regular medical visits at their healthcare provider’s office or by telehealth. They will talk about healthy foods and physical activity and will work together to set goals for healthy living.
• FBT: Family-Based Behavioral Treatment
  Some families will also receive FBT along with eSOC. As part of FBT, they will meet regularly with a health coach at their healthcare provider’s office or by telehealth. The health coach will work directly with the family to support and teach skills that help families live healthy lives.
