Feasibility of Healthy Dads Healthy Kids Latino

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Feasibility

In brief

This is a feasibility study of a culturally adapted version of Healthy Dads Healthy Kids for Hispanic families. The adapted version called Papás Saludables, Niños Saludables is a father-targeted program for child obesity prevention and weight loss for fathers. The feasibility study will be conducted with 40 Hispanic families. Baseline assessments (T0) will be completed on all participating family members, followed by randomization to start the program immediately (intervention group), or 6-7 months later (wait-list control). Post assessments (T1) will be completed on the full sample once the intervention group has participated in the 10 week Papás Saludables, Niños Saludables program. A process evaluation will be conducted to assess the feasibility outcomes of the study.
