New Ulm at HOME (Healthy Offerings Via the Mealtime Environment), NU-HOME
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating NU-HOME Intervention for Obesity, Childhood and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 228 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of the proposed project is to see if an innovative family-based intervention can reduce childhood obesity by actively engaging the whole family in promoting healthy behaviors in the home. In addition, the project will also examine how the NU-HOME family intervention influences children's dietary intake, availability of healthy and unhealthy foods in the home and served at meals and snacks, physical activity as a family, and child screen time (TV, game systems). The study will build upon a similar project conducted in an urban area and translate the lessons learned and adapt the program for a rural community.
