HomeTech Healthy Lifestyle Program for Mothers With Young Children

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Overweight

In brief

About 17% of Chinese American preschool children are obese, compared to 12.4%of all children from age three to five years residing in the US; the prevalence of obesity is expected to increase in the future. Therefore, the proposed study will adapt a home-based and technology-centered childhood obesity prevention program for low-income Chinese American mothers of children three to five years old. The aims of the study are to assess the feasibility of the intervention and estimate the effect sizes on children's and mothers' outcomes.
