RECRUITING

Evaluation of Child Care Staff Weight Management Program

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this 12-month cluster clinical trial is to evaluate if improving child care providers' health behaviors using an online provider weight management program elicits meaningful change in dietary and physical activity behaviors in 2-5-year-old preschool children in their care and the child care environment. The study sample will include 84 child care centers. Including: 84 center directors, 168 2-5-year-old classroom teachers, 672 2-5-year old children. Some centers will do only the online Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care (Go NAPSACC) program. This program works with child care center directors to make changes to their center around child nutrition and physical activity to foster healthier habits for the children enrolled in their care. Other centers will do Go NAPSACC Enhanced. This will include center directors doing Go NAPSACC and 2-5 year old teachers doing an online weight management program with support. Researchers will compare centers in Go NAPSACC with centers in Go NAPSACC Enhanced to see if there are greater improvements in children's diet quality and physical activity, as well as the nutrition and physical activity environment of centers in the Go NAPSACC Enhanced group. Additionally, they will see if there are greater improvements in teachers' weight, diet quality, and physical activity in centers using Go NAPSACC Enhanced.
