Peer mentoring intervention ('Cooking with Friends')

'Cooking with Friends' is a community-located, peer mentoring intervention aimed at improving home food preparation practices in families with young children. The intervention was developed in an iterative, community-based research approach, and will be conducted in partnership with Early Head Start (EHS) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Cooking with Friends builds on existing monthly cooking classes at EHS that have proven popular with EHS families. Through 5 weekly classes, this intervention will explore topics of how to prepare healthy foods at home. The peer mentoring component is a novel innovation to this intervention. The intervention pairs peer mentors to individual mentees in a community setting, to effect behavioral change among caregivers of young children.
