Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dietary Intake (Phase II only)

  Caregivers will be asked to complete a 7-day dietary record of what they and their child eat at the evening meal. For each evening meal, the caretaker will be asked to describe the meal type (fast food, restaurant, pre-prepared frozen meal, or home prepared); the specific foods and drinks consumed, and the amount consumed by the child. Data from dietary records will be input into Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) software and analyzed for energy intake, percent energy from fat, and food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, dairy) from the evening meal. Foods prepared away from home will be classified based on caretaker indication of fast food, restaurant, pre-prepared frozen meal, or home prepared on the dietary record.
