Study objectivesThe aim is to develop an intervention programme for preventing obesity in children, which can later be evaluated in a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT). The objectives for the study therefore include:
1. To apply an environmental analysis framework to prioritise components for the interventional package
2. To develop the components and time sequence of the intervention programme
3. To assess baseline physical activity (PA), diet and obesity measures in the populations under study
4. To implement an exploratory trial using the intervention, assess feasibility and acceptability
5. To pilot instruments (for obesity, dietary and physical-activity assessment) that will be used for outcome assessment in the definitive trial
Ethics approval(s)MREC approved (ref: 06/Q2703/43)
