Disseminating and implementing a lifestyle-based healthy weight program for mothers in a national organization: a study protocol for a cluster randomized trial.
Summary
This project evaluates the effectiveness of an evidence-based intervention (HEALTH) to prevent weight gain and promote weight loss when disseminated and implemented in real-world settings, through Parents as Teachers. To enhance the impact of HEALTH, the study also evaluates implementation outcomes from the training curriculum (implementation strategy) and external validity when HEALTH is implemented within this national home visiting organization. This partnership has potential for significant impact on obesity and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
