Summary

This study tests a program called Futuros Fuertes 2.0, which gives low-income Latino families health coaching and text messages during the first two years of a child's life. The goal is to promote healthy feeding, limit screen time, and improve sleep to prevent obesity. Half of the 576 families get the obesity-focused program, while the other half get general health tips. Researchers will track children's BMI and eating habits to see if the program works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
behavioral intervention (health coaching and text messages on infant feeding, screen time, and sleep)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to prevent childhood obesity in high-risk communities.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, so results may vary by family engagement. The study is not testing a drug or cure, and long-term impact is uncertain.
