Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Obesity PreventionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants will receive the standard Healthy Families America home visitation curriculum with the obesity prevention enhancement module, delivered by trained home visitors. Families are matched to home visitors based on their ethnicity/race and language preferences. The obesity prevention program targets 4 key behaviors (physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, sugary beverages, fried foods) aimed at reducing obesity risks in mothers and their children. Participants will also be provided opportunities to meet in groups with other participating mothers/infants to enhance social networks that support healthy eating and physical activity.

Group II: Standard HVP CurriculumActive Control1 Intervention

Participants will receive the standard Healthy Families America (HFA) home visitation curriculum delivered by trained home visitors. The HFA model meets the Department of Health and Human Services criteria for an "evidence-based early childhood home visiting service delivery model". HFA services begin prenatally and continue until children are 2-5yo. The curriculum focuses on strengthening parent-child relationships and family functioning, promoting positive child development, and linkage to community resources. Accredited home visitors are matched to families on cultural background and language, to provide culturally sensitive services. Home visitors receive weekly supervision, ongoing developmental training, and have limited caseloads (10-15 families) to meet their families' needs.
