Full description

Intervention Content Control Group: The control group will receive health education on weight management and the prevention of overweight and obesity through various channels, including WeChat official accounts, video platforms, WeChat groups, and the distribution of health education pamphlets. This aims to disseminate scientific knowledge and practical skills to children, adolescents, and their parents.

Intervention Group: In addition to receiving the same health education interventions as the control group, the intervention group will participate in group-based motivational interviewing. This will be conducted by a professional team that has been trained and certified in motivational interviewing techniques. The intervention will embody the principles of motivational interviewing and will follow a staged development approach, which includes:

Engagement tasks, exploration tasks, expansion tasks, action planning tasks.
