Food-Body-Mind Intervention for Preschoolers' Mental Health
This study is testing a 16-week program called "Food-Body-Mind" to help preschoolers with mental health, emotional, and behavioral challenges, as well as social skills and obesity. This program includes mindfulness activities for children at school, mindfulness practices for caregivers at home, and ways to connect school learning with home practice. The goal is to see if this intervention can improve children's problem behaviors. The study is looking for 800 children aged 3 to 5 years old who attend a Head Start program. Caregivers must be willing to use Facebook or a private website to participate. The study's current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Preschoolers' problem behaviorsChange from Month 0 (Time 1) to Month 4 (Time 2)
Problem behaviors will be assessed by the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales-Second Edition (PKBS-2). The Problem Behavior scale includes 42 items on 2 subscales: Externalizing Problems and Internalizing Problems. Total standard scores (M=100, SD=15) will be calculated, with a higher score indicating a higher level of problem behaviors. Preschoolers' problem behaviors rated by teachers will be the primary outcome, and problem behaviors rated by caregivers will be the secondary outcome.
