First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a distance-based education program for low-income parents or caregivers of children aged 2 to 8 who face food insecurity. Over eight weeks, participants watch short videos on feeding and food access, receive printed materials, and join three motivational interview calls. The study aims to see if the program is practical, well-received, and helps improve food security and feeding practices.
