Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Child Body Mass Index (BMI Z-score) — 0.95; 0.99; 0.94; 1.01 z-score
Summary
The goal of the proposed project is to see if an innovative family-based intervention can reduce childhood obesity by actively engaging the whole family in promoting healthy behaviors in the home. In additions, the project will also examine how the HOME Plus family intervention influences children's dietary intake, frequency of family meals, availability of healthy and unhealthy foods in the home and served at meals and snacks, and screen time (TV, game systems). The study will provide important information on strategies that families can use at home to prevent obesity.
