Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to further increase the impact of a validated and widely-used Eating Smart • Being Active EFNEP curriculum by teaching parents responsive feeding practices resulting in the development of healthier patterns of child eating behavior and food intake. Additionally, the effectiveness of two delivery strategies for adding feeding video-based content will be examined (in-person versus online lessons).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Responsive Feeding from the modified Child Feeding Questionnaire

  Five subscales measuring responsiveness, restriction, use of food as reward, monitoring, and pressure to eat will be assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. Parents will report on these constructs that assess responsive feeding.

  Up to 12-month follow up

• Providing Structure from the modified Child Feeding Questionnaire

  Seven subscales measuring parent decides on portions, family meals, serves measured portions, child helps prepare, eat whenever, indulgent feeding, and eat at regular times will be assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. Parents will report on these constructs that assess responsive feeding.

  Up to 12-month follow up

• Novel Foods from the modified Child Feeding Questionnaire

  Four subscales measuring encouraging exploration, offering new foods, urging new foods, and low pressure strategies for encouragement will be assessed using a 5-point Likert scale. Parents will report on these constructs that assess responsive feeding.

  Up to 12-month follow up

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Parental Knowledge Questionnaire

  Up to 12-month follow up

• Child Eating Behaviors

  Up to 12-month follow up
