What this study is about

This cluster-randomized trial will develop and test an intervention technology for school-aged children. The program combines digital health technology and personalized behavior intervention through a WeChat platform. Our main question is: Does this integrated approach improve obesity related outcomes and behaviors in children? Investigator will: * Compare children receiving the program with those receiving usual care. * Track physical measures and health behaviors to measure effectiveness of intervention. * Evaluate the program's safety, implementation process, and cost-effectiveness. Findings will determine if this approach should be expanded to more communities.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Full registry criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Schools will be selected based on the consent of primary leadership, demonstrated cooperation, and availability of necessary personnel (e.g., school health professionals). Classes will be limited to grades 2 and 3, with teachers showing strong willingness to collaborate. Both parental informed consent and child assent are required for participation. Exclusion Criteria: * Schools will be excluded if they cater to special populations (e.g., schools for children with disabilities), are involved in other obesity-related interventions within the specified timeframe, or plan to close or relocate within two years. Children will be excluded if they have histories of major organ diseases (e.g., cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or renal conditions), special diets (e.g., vegetarian), pathological eating disorders, physical limitations affecting activity, or obesity due to endocrine disorders or medication side effects.

Treatments and study arms

multicomponent, tiered intervention

Behavioral

this intervention is a multi-level collaborative health management system-a digital health platform with four core modules: the Health Education Module, the Growth Monitoring Module, the Health Behavior Module, and the Home-School Partnership Module. The platform facilitates collaboration among schools, families, and hospitals as follows: Schools utilize the platform to manage tasks outlined in health policies, such as delivering educational content, monitoring student activity and diet, and recording monthly height/weight measurements via the Growth Monitoring Module. Families access the platform to receive multi-format health education, set goals, and review personalized feedback. The Home-School Partnership Module also enables communication for motivational interviewing sessions conducted by professionals offline or by phone. Hospitals leverage the platform to provide professional guidance and medical support, ensuring interventions are medically sound.

Primary outcomes

children's BMl changeat the end of the 12-month intervention

Calculated based on height and weight using WHO standards. The primary outcome is the difference between two arms in the change of children's BMI from baseline to the end of the follow-up.
