Summary

This study tests a summer garden program called 'Summer Harvest Adventure' for children aged 8 to 11 from low-resource communities. The program teaches nutrition and healthy habits through gardening and cooking activities. Researchers will measure changes in fruit and vegetable intake using a skin scanner, along with weight and family engagement, to see if the program helps prevent childhood obesity.

What this could mean

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

Summer Harvest Adventure garden-based behavioral program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a fun, community-based way to help children eat healthier and reduce obesity risk.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study focused on short-term changes, so long-term benefits are uncertain. Results may not apply to other settings or age groups.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children 8-11 years of age (as of June 1) from assenting and consenting families * English-speaking families that agree to participate; 3) residents of SNAP-eligible communities in Franklin County, Ohio. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to functionally participate in harvesting; accommodations can be implemented in the future for children with special needs * Communication difficulties (e.g. severe developmental delay) * Lack of transportation to weekly classes or harvesting activities * Non-English speakers; because coaching and classroom-based education are all conducted in English, we will of necessity restrict to English-speakers only during this phase
