This study, called ENRICH, is looking at whether adding heart health information to regular home visits can improve the cardiovascular health of mothers and their young children. You might be eligible if you are pregnant, at least 18 years old, speak English or Spanish, and are already part of an evidence-based home visiting program. Researchers will compare mothers who receive the ENRICH program (which includes information on healthy eating and physical activity) with those who receive usual home visiting services. The main goals are to see if mothers in the ENRICH program have better physical activity levels, healthier diets (measured by the Mediterranean Eating Pattern for Americans scale), and healthier body mass indexes (BMI) 12 months after their child is born. The study aims to enroll 6618 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is a cluster randomized clinical trial, meaning groups of participants are randomly assigned to receive either the ENRICH intervention or usual home visiting. The study plans to enroll 6618 participants.

What's involved

Home visitors will incorporate heart health information and activities into routine home visits, starting during pregnancy and continuing until your child turns 2 years old. Your physical activity, diet, and BMI will be measured 12 months after your child's birth.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for at least 12 months after the child's birth to assess parent physical activity, diet, and body mass index.
