What the study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the ability of a home-based parental nutrition intervention to improve diet quality in preschool aged children within low-income, Latinx/Hispanic families. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does this enhanced intervention change children's diet quality?
  • Does this enhanced intervention change parental feeding practices?
  • Does this enhanced intervention change the availability of healthy foods in the home?

Participants will

  • Work with a support coach
  • Have a home visit with a support coach once a month, for three months
  • Have a phone call with a support coach once a month, for three months
  • Receive written materials and text messages over the six months

Researchers will compare a control group receiving different written materials and messages to see if the enhanced intervention changes diet quality in children.

Being studied: Home-Based Video and Motivational Interviewing Intervention; Read Educate and Develop Youth (READY) Comparison

Conditions: Metabolic Syndrome, Protection Against; Diet, Healthy
