The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a 7-month social marketing program - Healthy Me, Healthy We (previously called Our Year of Healthy Living) - in improving preschool children's (3-4 years) diet and physical activity behavior. Healthy Me, Healthy We will use social marketing approaches in the child care center to promote the use of healthy diet and physical activity behaviors by children, as well as their teachers and parents. The program will use visual cues, educational materials, activities, and a song to deliver targeted healthy behavior messages that connect the teacher, child, and parents. Centers will implement the Our Year of Healthy Living program in their classrooms over the course of a school year (October-April). Prior to initiation and after completion of the program, researchers will collect information about diet, physical activity, child body mass index (BMI), and center and home environment information from participants. From the beginning of the program to the end, children enrolled in the program will have 1) a greater increase in physical activity and decrease in sedentary time, 2) improved diet, and 3) smaller increase in body mass index compared to children in centers that do not complete the program. Additionally, from the beginning of the program to the end, homes and centers that participate in the program will have greater improvements in scores on the home and center environment assessments compared to centers and homes that do not participate.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in child physical activity | Physical activity of 3-4 year old children will be assessed via accelerometry using ActiGraph monitors worn over the right hip for 7 days. Age-appropriate cut-points will be applied to calculate minutes of non-sedentary activity. | Measures collected 3-10 weeks prior to start of intervention and 1-8 weeks post intervention | |
Primary | Change in child diet quality | Dietary intakes of 3-4 year old children will be assessed via direct observation of foods eaten at child care and parent report of foods eaten outside of child care. These dietary intake data will be used to calculate Healthy Eating Index scores as an indication of diet quality. | Measures collected 3-10 weeks prior to start of intervention and 1-8 weeks post intervention | |
Secondary | Change in child weight | Height and weight of 3-4 year old children will be measured by trained staff. These data will be used to calculate children's body mass index (BMI). CDC growth charts and parent-report of child's sex and date of birth will then used to calculate BMI percentile, BMI z-score, and weight category (underweight, normal weight, overweight). | Measures collected 3-10 weeks prior to start of intervention and 1-8 weeks post intervention | |
Secondary | Change in nutrition and physical activity environments in homes and child care centers | The home environment will be assessed with HomeSTEAD, a self-administered survey completed by parents. The child care environments will be assessed with the Environment and Policy Assessment and Observation (EPAO), a measurement protocol conducted by trained data collectors during an onsite visit to the center. | Measures collected 3-10 weeks prior to start of intervention and 1-8 weeks post intervention |
