Summary

Examine the effect of three different dietary messages on dietary intake and the health of parents and their children.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Increase Fruits and Vegetables

Children will be encouraged to consume 1 cup/day and 1.5 cups/day of whole fruit, and 1.5 cups/day and 2 cups/day of vegetables for children aged 6 to 8 years and 9 to 12 years, respectively. Children will gradually work towards these goals. Parents will also work towards F\&V goals, with 2 cups/day of whole fruit and 2.5 cups/day of vegetables. Both parent and child will self-monitor these behaviors. As one barrier to consuming F\&Vs is perceived cost of these foods, information regarding lower-cost options for F\&Vs will be included in the manual.

BEHAVIORAL

Decrease Snack Foods

This condition will reduce intake of SFs (i.e., candy, cookies, cakes, ice cream, chips, nuts) to \< 3 servings/week (for children aged 6 to 12 years, the solid fats and added sugar energy limit is 840 kcals/week and the DECREASE goal will help with meeting this limit). Children and parents will gradually work towards meeting these goals and self-monitor these behaviors.

BEHAVIORAL

Increase Fruits and Vegetables and Decrease Snack Foods

Will combine the goals of the increase and decrease conditions.
