Summary

This study tests whether combining a food prescription program with education on healthy feeding practices can help parents prevent chronic diseases like obesity in their children. Researchers will enroll 375 parents of children aged 4-8 in Texas. Participants will receive either nutrition education alone or nutrition education plus guidance on best feeding practices over 8 weeks.
