Child Obesity Clinical Trial

Official title:
Preventing and Addressing At-obesity-Risk Early Years iNtervention With Home Visits in Toronto (PARENT): A Pragmatic RCT

Clinical Trial Summary

The PARENT Trial aims to determine if the Parents Together program consisting of parent workshops, home visits and coaching calls, will result in better health outcomes for children. The program which is facilitated by a Public Health Nurse seeks to encourage healthy lifestyle, help build strong family relationships, and promote child mental health.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will determine whether a primary care based intervention that combines group based parenting skills training and public health nurse home visits with a focus on healthy nutrition, activity and sleep, compared to regular health care will lead to improved weight status in 18 months- 4 year old children. Healthy children at risk for obesity will be identified through primary care practices participating in TARGet Kids!. Families who participate in this study will be randomly assigned (having an equal chance of being in either group) to one of the two study groups that will run for 6-months: Group A: Receive 8 weeks of group parenting education sessions, 2 additional group sessions, with 2-4 public health nurse home/virtual visits Group B: Receive regular health care ;
