Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed to examine patient enrolment in the pre‐
intervention stage, family‐reported barriers, attendance rates and underlying
predictors of short‐term attendance in a family‐system‐based randomised
controlled trial for managing childhood obesity in children aged 8–12‐years‐
old (ENTREN‐F).
Method: Psychosocial and anthropometric measures were collected through
primary health referral. The data were used for descriptive analyses of sample
characteristics and linear regression analyses.
Results: Low enrolment rates and several family‐reported barriers were
observed in the pre‐intervention stage. Logistical barriers were the most
frequent family‐reported reason for attrition in the different stages of the
study. Having a first face‐to‐face orientation session with the families and the
use of motivational interviewing helped to improve adherence in the initial
phases of the study. After 6 months of intervention, family based treatments
(FBTs) under consideration achieve greater adherence compared with the
standard intervention. Moreover, family involvement was a predictor of success for better treatment adherence rates. By contrast, participants who
attended a brief standard intervention, mothers with primary education,greater body mass index, higher levels of depressive symptomatology and
more critical comments towards their children, children with higher weight
status and lower levels of self‐reported depressive symptoms at baseline
attended interventions less frequently.
Conclusions: In future programmes a comprehensive screening of modifiable
factors related to family and their setting characteristics is paramount prior to
intervention, identifying key barriers related to drop‐out, especially in the case
of less‐advantaged families
