What this study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine feasibility and acceptability of a digitally-based obesity prevention intervention for mothers of infants participating in a home visitation program. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What impact does the digitally based obesity prevention intervention for parents have on children's weight? * What impact does the digitally based obesity prevention intervention have on mothers' feeding practices, child sleep, and child screen time? Researchers will compare the digital intervention to home visiting standard curriculum to see if the intervention results in larger improvements. Participants will view several digital modules including videos on feeding, activity and family topics over the course of 1 year. They will complete questionnaires at the beginning of the study and again at 4, 6 and 12 months and their child will be weighed and measured at each time point.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

digital intervention + home visiting curriculum

Behavioral

Digitally delivered childhood obesity prevention intervention for parents called THRIVES (Teaching Healthy Routines in Very Early Stages) will be provided to complement the standard home visiting curriculum. Parents will complete digital content containing videos, text and checkpoint questions with goal setting during the first year of their child's life over a 12 month period. Assessments will be collected at baseline, 4, 6 and 12 months.

Home visiting curriculum

Behavioral

Parents will receive a standard home visiting curriculum delivered in person for at least 1 year during the project timeframe and complete assessments at baseline, 4, 6 and 12 months.

Primary outcomes

Child Weight for Length0, 4, 6, 12 months

Weight for Length (WFL) z-score. A z-score of 0 indicates a child is a the median for WFL. Scores above 0 indicate that a child has a higher WFL and may be at risk for overweight or obesity. Scores below 0 indicate that a child has a lower WFL and may be at risk for undernutrition.
