Summary

This pilot study tests an 8-month program that coaches family childcare providers and parents together to encourage healthier eating in children aged 18 to 54 months. The intervention includes peer coaching, tailored materials, and an app to share nutrition messages, aiming to improve diet quality both at childcare and at home. Researchers will measure how feasible and acceptable the program is, as well as changes in children's dietary scores and fruit/vegetable intake. The goal is to see if this dual-setting approach can help prevent obesity and related health issues from an early age.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A behavioral intervention combining peer coaching for childcare providers, tailored nutrition materials, and parent engagement via an app and home tools to encourage healthy eating in young children.
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a practical way to improve young children's diets in both childcare and home settings, potentially lowering their long-term risk of obesity and related conditions.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, so it may not show clear dietary improvements. Results may not apply to all childcare settings, and the intervention's success depends on consistent participation from both providers and parents.
