"Grow Well: Addressing Childhood Obesity in Low-income Families"

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This research uses community based participatory research (CBPR) to engage low-income Latinx families in research to pilot test an adapted nutrition education program compared to an existing nutrition education program. The goal of the research is to provide nutrition education on healthy infant feeding to reduce risk for early childhood obesity. The prevalence of obesity in early life remains unacceptably high, especially among low-income children, most are ethnic minorities. Marked ethnic disparities are evident by two years of age, which suggests that existing interventions are not adequate. This project, which focuses on an-at-risk child population, has great potential to address our nation's growing crisis of childhood obesity, which can dramatically improve the health of millions of low-income children, their families, and their future children.

Clinical Trial Description

This research will implement and evaluate an existing healthy infant feeding intervention, Healthy Beginnings, which was developed for English-speaking low-income mothers in Australia and delivered by public health nurses via in-home visits. The investigator will test the efficacy of an adapted version of this intervention in comparison to the original intervention. Aim 1. Pilot test an adapted nutrition education program of, compared to the original program curriculum. ● Using a pilot randomized control trial with 30 mother-infant-caregiver triad (15 intervention, 15 control) determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the adapted intervention compared to the original intervention. The investigator hypothesize that the adapted intervention will be feasible, acceptable to study participants, and efficacious in addressing feeding styles and practices and caregivers' role in infant feeding. The investigator anticipate that the intervention will be feasible to deliver and acceptable to mothers' participants and caregivers' participants, and that the mother's participants-infant-caregiver triads randomized to intervention with the adapted Healthy Beginnings curriculum compared to the treatment as usual control group will demonstrate greater improvements in outcomes (i.e., infant feeding knowledge and use of recommended feeding practices) after 6 months compared to the control group. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
