Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether an intervention targeting healthy habit development reduces the risk and prevalence of obesity in low-income mothers and children. The study intends to evaluate whether the intervention, delivered in the context of home visitation services for low-income families, reduces weight gain and risk factors associated with parent and childhood obesity compared to those receiving standard home visitation services.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Home visitation + HABITS program

The HABITS program will target 5 key behaviors (physical activity, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, decreasing sugary beverages, decreasing fried foods, and encouraging regular self-monitoring and self-weighing) aimed at reducing obesity risk in mothers or primary caregivers and children.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard home visitation program

Treatment in the control arm includes the content and services typically provided by the home visitation partner, which is focused on promoting caregiver and child health by providing screenings and referrals, encouraging smoking cessation, promoting safe sleep practices, and strengthening children's school readiness and achievement, social/emotional and physical development.
