In 2010, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued recommendations for screening and treating childhood and adolescent obesity. They endorsed comprehensive moderate-to high intensity programs including counseling for weight loss, healthy diet, and physical activity as well as instruction and support for the use of behavioral management techniques including self-monitoring, stimulus control, eating management, contingency management, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. The USPSTF further defined moderate- to high-intensity programs as > 25 hr of contact and states that "such interventions would not be feasible for implementation in a primary care setting." (USPSTF, 2010, p. 365). Further, they assert that less intensive (< 25 contact hours) programs do not produce significant improvements. "Low-intensity interventions, defined as < 25 contact hours over a 6-month period, did not result in significant improvement in weight status" (USPSTF, 2010, p. 364). The implication is that, since most centers cannot provide this level of service, it is not worthwhile for adolescent health centers to provide any kind of obesity intervention at all. According to the USPSTF's website, "its recommendations are considered the gold standard for clinical preventive services." Such recommendations could discourage the testing and implementation of brief interventions designed to prevent obesity. Thus, to refute USPSTF statement, we propose to show that a 6-hr intervention led by graduate students can produce significant reductions in risk for both obesity and eating disorders, suggesting that this brief and inexpensive intervention could and should be rolled out nationwide.
