Study Summary

This trial will test if a program to help child care providers stay healthy can lead to healthier habits for preschoolers.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for child care centers that have been operating for at least a year, serve lunch to kids, and are open year-round. It includes directors and teachers of 2-5-year-old classrooms who aren't pregnant or planning pregnancy soon. Children in these classes with English-reading caregivers can join too.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if an online weight management program (Go NAPSACC Enhanced) for child care providers leads to better diet and activity levels in preschoolers compared to just the Go NAPSACC program which focuses on center-wide health improvements.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary and physical activity interventions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience changes in lifestyle habits.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Go NAPSACC EnhancedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Centers randomized to Go NAPSACC Enhanced will receive the traditional Go NAPSACC program as described in the Active Comparator arm. Additionally, child care providers will simultaneously receive a weight management program, Go NAPSACC Cares over 6 months. The health educator will orient providers with the website and its tools and resources. Providers will take a self-assessment and choose a goal of weight maintenance or weight loss. They will go through 18 lessons with accompanying resources. Within the website they will self-monitor their weight, physical activity, and red foods (diet quality). Providers will receive daily tips, weekly reminders via text message or email, and tailored weekly feedback based on their weight management goals and progress.

Group II: Go NAPSACCActive Control1 Intervention

Centers randomized to Go NAPSACC will receive the traditional Go NAPSACC program. This will include the center director leading the Go NAPSACC effort with support from a Go NAPSACC Implementation advisor. The advisor will orient each center to Go NAPSACC and its online tools and check in monthly with directors as they work through 2 cycles of Go NAPSACC over 6 months. Centers will take self-assessments on nutrition and physical activity, choose 6 goals (3 from each), create action plans, and take action to achieve their chosen goals.
