Summary

This trial is testing a weight management intervention that provides relationship skills counseling to mothers and daughters in Mexican American families to see if it improves family interactions around eating and physical activity, which may help with long-term weight management.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Mexican or Mexican American mothers and adult daughters living in San Diego County, aged 18-65 with a BMI of 25-45. They must be able to read and write in English or Spanish. Those pregnant, planning pregnancy, with physical limitations for exercise, currently in weight loss programs, post-weight loss surgery, or with serious health conditions cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study compares two obesity treatments: one combines standard behavioral treatment with relationship skills training; the other uses only the standard treatment. The aim is to see if improving family interactions helps better manage weight by supporting healthy eating and activity.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions and counseling rather than medication, side effects are not typical as seen in drug trials but may include emotional discomfort due to discussions during therapy sessions.
