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.

BEHAVIORAL

HOME Plus intervention

The HOME Plus program families will participate in monthly, two-hour group sessions for ten months at local community centers. Each session offers new ideas focusing on family meals, healthy eating, and reducing sedentary behavior. At each session, families prepare and eat a meal together and participate in small group discussions and activities for both parent and child groups to promote healthy behaviors in the home. Topics include planning healthy meals and snacks with your family, having meals with your family more often, and improving the healthfulness of the food available at home. Families also receive periodic supportive phone calls throughout the year using motivational interviewing techniques to promote healthy behaviors to prevent and reduce childhood obesity.
