Actual (reported)Change from Baseline 3-Day Food Diary (dietary variety) at 6 months
The 3-Day Food Diary is the preferred method of dietary assessment (intake and variety of food consumed) because of a balance between validity and burden. Includes all food consumed and approximate servings for 3 days.Frequencies of foods consumed from different food groups and basic nutritional intake related to the numbers of servings of food in each food group consumed will be calculated. Servings in each category will be compared to national daily recommendations.

Trained instructors with a background in nutrition or culinary arts will lead six weekly, two-hour sessions to groups of 10 parent participants at local Family Support Centers.
Trained group leaders with experience in pediatric occupational therapy will lead six weekly, two-hour, Mealtime PREP sessions to groups of 10 parent participants at local Family Support Centers.
Cooking Matters for Parents focuses on teaching parents of young children important lessons about self-sufficiency in the kitchen. Participants have the opportunity to practice fundamental lessons including knife skills, reading ingredient labels, cutting up a whole chicken, and making a healthy meal for a family of four on a budget of ten dollars. Each session includes meal preparation, didactic teaching, and sharing the meal as a group. Instructors share their education and experience and discuss how to choose healthy, affordable fruits and vegetables at the grocery store. Each week, adults take home a bag of groceries after each class so they can practice the recipes taught that day.

Parents will receive both programs in succession. They will attend Cooking Matters for Parents followed by Mealtime PREP. In total, this will equal 12 weekly, two-hour sessions delivered to groups of 10 parent participants at a local Family Support Center.
Parents are trained to deliver each intervention component during mealtimes using a step-wise, behavioral activation approach. The parent-training prong of the Mealtime PREP intervention incorporates four active ingredients of behavioral activation (1. skills training; 2. goal-setting; 3. activity scheduling; and 4. activity monitoring) to help parents build a family meal routine that is enriched with techniques to promote child food acceptance. Each week, parents will take home healthy groceries to practice making healthy snacks and side dishes in the home.
