DescriptionThe HomeStyles Express Program is a childhood obesity prevention intervention for parents of preschool aged children that incorporates Pediatric Weight Management Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formerly the American Dietetic Association. Participants (n=54) were female (100%), white (80%), and college graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher (82%). Participants were assigned into either the control (n=29) or treatment (n=25) groups and completed a baseline survey and follow-up survey online. Between the surveys, the treatment group participants received 1 of 8 different HomeStyles Guides approximately 1 week apart by email and spent about 15 minutes each week in a telephone counseling session with a trained dietetics/nutrition researcher. Participants in the treatment group of the HomeStyles Express Program reported significantly increased confidence for getting their children to eat fruits and vegetables and for buying healthy foods over time, as well as significantly greater physical activity levels for themselves and for their children and significantly fewer minutes per day of screentime for themselves over time. Participants rated the HomeStyles instructional Guides and the trained dietetics/nutrition researchers highly. The HomeStyles Express Program was well received by participants and has the potential to assist mothers and their children in making weight-related parental and child cognitive and behavioral changes.
