Summary

The overall objective of this research is to test, among families with children age 2-5 years, the immediate and longer-term impacts of a home-based intervention to improve household routines associated with reduced obesity risk. The investigators primary hypothesis is that, compared to control, children in the intervention group will have lower BMI following the 6-month intervention period and 18-month follow-up period. The secondary outcomes are change in children's % body fat, waist circumference and obesity-related behaviours: sleep, activity, sedentary behaviour, family meals, and dietary intake. Although child outcomes are the focus of this evaluation, changing household routines may also improve parent behaviour; thus, the investigators will assess change in parent behaviours and weight outcomes. This study will also assess the cost-effectiveness of the intervention from a societal perspective.
