2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Home-Based Video and Motivational Interviewing InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention will be delivered in English or Spanish by a trained CHW and consists of three home-based visits with tailored print materials, text-messages delivered 2x/week, followed by monthly tailored print materials and phone calls during the last three months of the intervention. For in-home visits, the CHW will deliver a Motivational Interviewing session based on scripts developed in the R34. For phone calls, parents will receive a 30-minute Motivational Interviewing phone call to check in on goals and barriers and reinforce earlier concepts. For text messages, parents will be sent two times/week messages related to objectives targeted during that month's visit, such as parents setting good examples and giving children autonomy in eating. For print materials, parents will receive printed materials, highlighting nutrition and parental feeding guidance.
Group II: Read Educate and Develop Youth (READY) ComparisonActive Control1 Intervention
As done in the R34, the comparison group will receive an attention contact control intervention about school readiness promotion adapted from R.E.A.D.Y. (Read Educate and Develop Youth) designed by the Michigan Department of Education (Refs). Families in the comparison arm will receive the same intervention components as the intervention arm, but these will be focused on child reading rather than nutrition. Parents will send a video of themselves reading with a child, receive 3 home visits and 48 text-messages as well as newsletters for each visit. Instead of receiving cooking materials during the second home visit, they will receive books to read with their children.
