Families Implementing Good Health Traditions for Life
OTHERSeven cohorts with a total of seventy families (10 families per cohort) will be enrolled in the study. Families will meet for weekly for 16 weeks and be administered child and adult specific curriculums to encourage healthy lifestyle changes. The adults will received the initial 16-week curriculum of the CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program, and the children will receive an aligned DPP-adapted curriculum.
Interventions
The 16-session weekly curriculum will have five components: 1) strategies for monitoring food intake and reducing calories; 2) identifying and controlling both personal and social cues for unhealthy eating behaviors; 3) the role of stress in unhealthy eating and relapse prevention; 4) strategies for monitoring and improving physical activity and sedentary behaviors; and 5) strategies to improve family support and cohesion. Parents and children will be divided into separate, 2-hour sessions most weeks. The sessions will be co-facilitated by trained CHWs and research staff members. As children of different ages will be participating, we will ensure enough staff are present to keep youth sessions well-coordinated in order to engage all ages. All sessions will be held in community locations convenient to the families, such as YMCAs, faith-based institutions, federally qualified health centers, etc.
