What this Trial Is About
This small scale healthy eating study provides Southeast Asian families with children ages 6 to 11 with a family-based nutrition education, one-on-one interviews to help with motivation to eat health, text messaging, and coupons to purchase health foods and beverages. Since this is a small scale study that is a pilot intervention, the main goal of this intervention is to determine if it is feasible, meaning, can it be done. The second goal of this intervention is to determine if there are meaningful improvements in children's healthy eating patterns, body mass index and HbA1c. The third goal is to see if the intervention improves parent's diet quality, HbA1c and the home food environment. These study findings will be used to determine whether a larger clinical trial is needed, and if so, how it should be done.
