Measure
Community-AHF
Participants in this arm will receive the Community Active and Healthy Families Intervention Community Active and Healthy Families: Community-AHF will consist of eight, semimonthly 2-hour group appointments. Community-AHF sessions will target two areas: 1) Practical information regarding importance of healthy behaviors, and 2) Problem-solving skills to overcome barriers to improving diet and increasing physical activity and other related healthy behaviors. Each session covers specific objectives, includes a number of complementary activities and provides participants with take-home materials to facilitate behavior change. Community-AHF will be delivered by a nurse and a Community Health Worker (CHW) trained by a consultant nutritionist and study investigators. The CHW will contact families between group sessions to discuss challenges and successes regarding lifestyle changes.
