Childhood overweight and obesity remain a significant public health problem with a well-recognized spectrum of adverse short and long-term health, social and psychological outcomes. Hispanics and African Americans are two minority groups that have been greatly impacted by childhood overweight and obesity. It appears that an abundance of studies have been conducted with African Americans, but not many in particular with Hispanics adolescents. The goal of this research study was to look at the factors that impact change for Hispanic adolescents who perceived themselves as overweight. The Transtheoretical model (TTM) of health behavior change by Prochaska and DiClemente (1982; 1983; 1984); Prochaska, DiClemente and Norcross (1992); and Prochaska and Velicer (1997) was used to guide this research study.A convenience sample of 80 Hispanic adolescents ages 14-18 and their primary caregivers in the mid-Atlantic region was utilized in conducting this quantitative study design. A nine-figure silhouette illustration based on the Stunkard figure rating scale was employed to determine the perception of adolescents towards their weight status. In addition, the Exercise: Stages of Change ("Exercise," 1991) and the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (CDC, 2013) were used to determine the adolescent stage of change and actions employed for losing weight. The results of the study indicated that the greatest impact on stage of change for adolescent participants was knowing the benefits of weight loss. Although all participants were overweight, some perceived themselves as having normal weight. In addition, results indicated that there was a shared perception between adolescents and their primary care givers as it relates to bodyweight. This was different from other studies which showed a discordance between perception of weight between caregivers and their adolescents (Centrella-Nigro, 2009).
