Summary

Pediatric obesity, a defining health problem of the century, leads to long-term health disparities. This application evaluates strategies to prevent health disparities early in life by developing environmental wellness-related interventions focused on child-care center staff and families.

Childcare centers provide an excellent opportunity to build healthy dietary and physical activity lifestyle habits and avoid the rapid weight gain that leads to health disparities. Building on a statewide survey among childcare centers and a pilot evaluation of an environmental intervention, this 3-cell randomized trial evaluates the impact of a staff-led wellness intervention and a staff-led and family-focused intervention, against a control condition.

BEHAVIORAL

CHAMP

The CHAMP only group intervention is based on "Food Friends \& Mighty Moves", a nutritional program designed to introduce new foods over the course of 12 weeks to preschoolers to create positive eating experiences. In conjunction with the nutritional program, the intervention also consists of an 18 week physical activity program designed to develop gross motor skills.

BEHAVIORAL

The CHAMP+ component is comprised of a curriculum of parenting, wellness, physical activity, and feeding in the home environment. The CHAMP+ intervention will span over the course of the CHAMP intervention.
