HomeStyles-2 Trial Summary
This trial will test whether a novel family intervention can help reduce the risk of obesity in middle childhood youth. The intervention is based on the social cognitive theory and a social ecological framework. The trial will include an experimental group and an attention control group who will engage in a concurrent treatment different in subject matter but equal in nonspecific treatment effects.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents aged 24-50 in the U.S. with a child aged 6-11, who make most family food choices and have regular internet access. They must be able to read English/Spanish. It's not for those outside this group.Check my eligibility
