Summary

The overall objective of this application is to pilot test an mHealth nutrition intervention within pediatric clinics serving Latino families and evaluate its potential for implementation. The investigators hypothesize the intervention will improve child diet quality and will be feasible for use within the clinic setting. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will pursue 3 specific aims and 1 exploratory aim:

1. Aim 1: Pilot Nutricity with 40 Latino families (English or Spanish speaking) vs. 40 waitlist control in primary care clinics and estimate differences in child diet quality at 3 month's post Nutricity exposure. Preliminary data will inform power calculations for a future larger Nutricity intervention.
2. Aim 2: Evaluate other individual (dyad) level factors including reach, engagement, and changes in secondary effectiveness outcomes (e.g. nutrition literacy, BMI, skin carotenoid, psychosocial constructs) at 3 months post exposure.
3. Aim 3: Evaluate organizational-level factors (adoption, implementation, and organizational-level maintenance) in Latino-serving pediatric clinics that may support or inhibit future uptake of Nutricity. The investigators will seek to understand the context of interventions and scalability to other clinics using mixed methods.
4. Exploratory Aim 1: Explore the relationship among nutrition literacy, psychosocial constructs and diet quality outcomes; and explore how engagement and satisfaction influence outcomes.
