STORY Trial Summary

This trial study looks at whether interventions are useful and accepted by parents and providers. Participants will answer surveys and be interviewed to understand how they feel about the process.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for parents of children aged 2-4 who are at least 18 years old and can read and write English. Their child should not have any medical conditions affecting development, feeding, or growth. Parents already participating in the study with another family member cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests three methods to prevent childhood obesity: educational handouts, a video series, and group discussion sessions. It evaluates how many parents participate, their views on the recruitment process and interventions, as well as feedback from providers and facilitators.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is an educational intervention focusing on storytelling to encourage healthy feeding practices in young children rather than a drug trial, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participation.

What is the purpose of this experimental endeavor?

"This trial's primary aim is to determine the number of parents that will give consent. Secondary endpoints are based on three different variables, namely restriction score (Child Feeding Questionnaire), satiety responsiveness score (Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire) and food responsiveness score (Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire). Each variable has a range from 1-5; higher scores indicate greater severity or lower self-regulation respectively. The results gathered during this baseline time frame shall be used in later studies for comparison purposes."
