Study Summary

This trial will evaluate if a mindful parenting program can reduce stress and improve parenting practices in Latina mothers, reducing their children's risk of obesity.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Latina mothers over 18 years old with a child aged 3-11 who lives primarily with them. It aims to help reduce maternal stress and improve parenting practices related to childhood obesity. Women must understand Spanish or English, not be pregnant or planning pregnancy soon, and cannot have untreated severe mental health issues.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a program called Calma, Conversa, y Cría (CCC), which combines mindfulness-based stress reduction with mindful parenting techniques. The goal is to see if this culturally-tailored intervention can lower stress in Latina mothers and promote healthier environments for their children.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves mindfulness and parenting education rather than medication, there are no typical drug side effects; however, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing personal experiences or learning new coping strategies.
