Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Changes in Physical Activity
Changes in physical activity determined by using univariable and multivariable mixed effect models.
12 months
Increase in Fruit and Vegetable (F/V) Consumption
Assuming 1.6 portions of F/V consumed per day in the control group, power calculations show that Poisson regression model with a 0.05 two-sided significance level has 80% power to detect a 22% or greater increase (rate ratio (RR) =1.22) in portions of F/V consumption for intervention group if we have total 522 participants (261 dyads) with Intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.08.
12 months
