Third Ward Wellness Study for Families

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Child Obesity

In brief

The Third Ward Wellness Study aims to pilot test a wellness program for families with toddler age children. Participants will be recruited from the Third Ward neighborhood in Houston, TX and then randomly assigned to one of two wellness programs. The goal of both programs is to enable and inspire parents to help their toddler age children develop healthy habits that will stay with them through life. Participating families will complete an assessment batter before and after the program. Both programs will meet once per week for 10 weeks.
