Background
Up to 44% of obese teens have metabolic syndrome.
Greater prevalence of metabolic syndrome among Mexican-American adolescents
Adolescents visit their medical care providers infrequently, especially for preventive care
School-based health centers (SBHCs), offer a logical alternative to reach adolescents given that they spend a significant portion of their day at school
Adolescents Committed to Improvement of
Nutrition and Physical Activity
Phase 1: Use an adaptive community-based participatory research approach to create a school-based health center intervention for overweight/obese teens
Phase 2: Feasibility testing of the school-based health center intervention against standard care for weight loss
R21 HL092533 NIH/NHLBI
Hypothesis
Adolescents receiving the intervention condition will demonstrate a greater decrease in mean BMI percentile when compared to adolescents receiving standard care. Secondary outcomes: mean insulin resistance (by
HOMA IR), HDL-C, triglycerides, and systolic blood pressure
Phase 2: Feasibility Trial
Recruit students with BMI ≥85%-ile and their parents from intervention school
Intervention: 8 motivational interviewing sessions with clinical provider at the school’s clinic
Standard care: 1 visit with clinical provider at the school’s clinic & self-help materials

Recruit students with BMI ≥85%-ile and their parents from
control school

Satisfaction of Intervention
Parent: “I am very satisfied with the ACTION Project. It was more than I expected when I signed up ___ & ___. Their doctor was impressed with the changes they made and the things they learned. Overall, they were much healthier through out the school year and rarely got sick. The 'gifts' they received were great incentives and I appreciated the feedback 'pink slips' I received after their visits.”
Satisfaction of Intervention Parent: “I just want to say thanks for this
ACTION project, because this has motivated my son to be more aware of his health and it has motivated him to work out more, and this is good, I hope you will continue with this project, thanks a lot.”
Student: “I just want to thank the woman I met for each visit. She was a great listener and really nice.”
Student: “I really enjoyed it and thought it was cool.”
Conclusions
A school-base health center intervention program consisting of 8 motivational interviewing sessions with overweight/ obese high school students and their parents was feasible.
Students receiving the intervention had significantly greater pre-post improvement in BMI percentile as compared to the standard care group.
