Summary

This study tests a culturally tailored healthy eating program for Hispanic mothers and their children aged 7–12 in rural Arkansas. The program includes home lessons and cooking workshops to improve diet and cooking habits. Researchers will compare 16 mother-child pairs who get the program with 16 who do not, to see if it boosts fruit and vegetable intake.
