This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $674,338 to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) to evaluate the impact of a cooking skills intervention in combination with a multicomponent weight management program on long-term weight loss in 114 young adults with intellectual disabilities, including 50% with Down syndrome. The 5-year project aims to compare weight loss outcomes between the traditional weight loss intervention and the weight loss plus cooking skills intervention at 18 and 24 months. Secondary objectives include assessing changes in cooking skills, body composition, cardiometabolic biomarkers, instrumental/basic activities of daily living, and caregiver strain. The project will also explore potential mediators and moderators of weight change and the association between weight/body composition and cardiometabolic outcomes.
