A randomized controlled trial enrolling 123 parent-infant dyads (English or Spanish speaking) comparing a virtual video Teaching Kitchen Outreach Program (TKO) with weekly grocery delivery (comparator group), to Healthier Families, COVID Edition (intervention group) which includes TKO plus a 12-week virtual health coaching intervention aimed at supporting family goal setting and behavior change including topics such as nutrition and physical activity.
The aim of this work is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the effect of two evidenced based programs (Healthier Families and Teaching Kitchen Outreach (TKO) adapted to a virtual platform on improving family health.
Both the intervention and comparator condition receive up to 12 weekly short (about 2-3 minutes) Teaching Kitchen Outreach (TKO) videos. Recipe specific groceries are delivered to participants' homes by a third party grocery delivery company, and are available for pickup at a central location(s). These recipes reflect foods that can be purchased with SNAP and WIC and include tested meals and snacks that were developed and evaluated in person in Parks and Recreation after-school programming (Heerman W, Elsakary Y, Sommer E, Escarfuller J, Barkin S. Assessing the Scale and Spread of an Experiential Teaching Kitchen in After-School Programming Among School-Aged Children) through the long-standing Nashville Collaborative partnership (https://pediatrics.vumc.org/nashville-collaborative). Over more than a decade, the Nashville Collaborative has developed and tested programs together to improve health and wellness and reduce childhood obesity in the local community.
Those randomized to the intervention condition receive a 12-weekly health coach via a virtual platform (such as Zoom, FaceTime, or What's App) to provide an adapted version of the previously tested Healthier Families program. Adaptations include: shortening each session to 30 minutes and delivering the programming via a virtual platform. The health coach provides the Healthier Families modules to individual child-parent pairs. Any use of Zoom for participant participation will use a version of Zoom procured through Vanderbilt. The virtual version of Healthier Families was adapted from prior research in the Growing Right Onto Wellness (GROW) trial that worked with over 600 parent-child dyads and demonstrated a statistically significant effect on health behavior change (Barkin SL, Heerman WJ, Sommer EC, Martin NC, Buchowski MS, Schlundt D, Po'e EK, Burgess LE, Escarfuller J, Pratt C, Truesdale KP, Stevens J. Effect of a Behavioral Intervention for Underserved Preschool-Age Children on Change in Body Mass Index: A Randomized Clinical Trial).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teaching Kitchen Outreach | Active Comparator | All participants (both the intervention and control condition) will receive to 11 weekly short (about 2-3 minutes) Teaching Kitchen Outreach (TKO) videos. Recipe specific groceries will be delivered to participants' homes by a third party grocery delivery company, or will be available for pickup at a central location(s). These recipes reflect foods that can be purchased with SNAP and WIC and include tested meals and snacks that were developed and evaluated in person in Parks and Recreation after-school programming. |
|
| Healthier Families, COVID Edition | Experimental | Those randomized to the intervention condition will also receive a 12-weekly health coach via a virtual platform (such as Zoom, FaceTime, or What's App) to provide an adapted version of the previously tested Healthier Families program. Adaptations include: shortening each session to 30 minutes and delivering the programming via a virtual platform. The health coach will provide the Healthier Families modules either to individual child-parent pairs. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Family Healthy Lifestyle Subscale | The 6-item Family Healthy Lifestyle Subscale is a validated measure with higher scores indicating better family health (Crandall A, Weiss-Laxer NS, Broadbent E, et al. The Family Health Scale: Reliability and Validity of a Short- and Long-Form. Front Public Health. 2020;8:587125. doi:10.3389/fpubh.2020.587125). The total score ranges from 6-30 and is calculated by summing the responses to all 6 items of the Family Healthy Lifestyle Subscale. Each item uses a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = "Strongly disagree" to 5 = "Strongly agree." | Baseline to 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Family Resilience and Connection Index | The 6-item Family Resilience and Connection Index is a validated measure with higher scores indicating better family resilience and connection (Bethell CD, Gombojav N, Whitaker RC. Family Resilience And Connection Promote Flourishing Among US Children, Even Amid Adversity. Health Affairs (Millwood). 2019;38(5):729-737). doi:10.1377/hlthaff.2018.05425). The total Family Resilience and Connection Index score is calculated by summing the sub scores of 3 categories (score range in parentheses): Family resilience index (0-4), parent-child connection (0-1), and parent coping (0-1). For the family resilience index, 1 point was assigned for each time a parent responded "all of the time" to one of the 4 items. 1 point was assigned for each time a parent responded "very well" to the 2 items on parent-child connection and parent coping. The total score of the FRCI ranges from 0-6. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Parent Nutrition Scale | Parent nutrition was measured using the Starting the Conversation: Dietary Scale (Paxton AE, Strycker LA, Toobert DJ, Ammerman AS, Glasgow RE. Starting the conversation performance of a brief dietary assessment and intervention tool for health professionals. Am J Prev Med. 2011;40(1):67-71). It is a validated, 8-item instrument to assess diet, with lower scores indicating better nutrition. The total score ranges from 0-16. |

All study personnel that are in a position to change the study protocol or its implementation in study participants should be blinded to information that may allow them to do so, from when the study starts until the study ends, with specific exceptions. This means that all investigators and study staff should be blinded to study data aggregated by study arm that have the potential to impact the study's outcome.
| Teaching Kitchen Outreach | Behavioral | Families receiving this intervention will recipe 11-weekly video recipes and groceries delivered to their door. |

| Child Nutrition Food Categories | Child nutrition was assessed based on participating children's 30-day consumption of six food categories from the CDC Dietary Screener, which contains items used widely on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Frequency of consumption within the following six food categories was analyzed: sugary beverages (combined soda and sweetened drinks), snacks, sweets, fruits, leafy greens, and other vegetables. The minimum score for each of the six defined food category was 0. There was no maximum score limit. | Baseline to 12 weeks |
| USDA Household Food Security Scale | Food security was measured using a short form of the USDA Household Food Security Scale, which is a validated, 6-item instrument that categorizes households as food secure or food insecure (Blumberg SJ, Bialostosky K, Hamilton WL, Briefel RR. The effectiveness of a short form of the Household Food Security Scale. Am J Public Health. 1999;89(8):1231-4.). The total USDA Household Food Security score is calculated by summing the number of affirmative responses to each item. The total score ranges from 0-6. A total score less than 2 indicated no food insecurity or hunger. A total score of ≥ 2 indicated food insecurity. A total score of ≥ 5 indicated hunger. | Baseline to 12 weeks |
