FRESH-EATS Project for Dietary Behaviors and Overweight
This study, called the FRESH-EATS Project, is looking at ways to improve eating habits in children aged 8-12 and their parents/caregivers who live in certain low-income neighborhoods. It's testing an intervention called FRESH-EATS, which includes six weekly Cooking Matters® for Families sessions, two family workshops, and a food delivery budget. Some families will receive this intervention, while others will get nutrition education materials (Lagged Intervention Control Group). Researchers want to see if the FRESH-EATS program is practical to implement and if it helps families eat healthier. They will compare the eating behaviors of parents and children before and after the intervention, about 6-8 weeks apart.
