About this study
Evaluation of three online modules developed by the Center for Childhood Obesity Research for caregivers of children ages 5-12 years old participating in SNAP-Ed programing.
Read the detailed description
the Center for Childhood Obesity Research developed three online modules for caregivers of children ages 5-12 years old who are participating in SNAP-Ed programming. These modules were developed to be used within the context of normal programming that participants will receive in any given year. The specific aim are as follows:
Aim #1: To examine acceptability of these modules by caregivers participating in SNAP-Ed programming. This will be assessed by evaluating acceptability questions answered by participants after completing the modules.
Aim #2: To examine the feasibility of these modules by caregivers participating in SNAP-Ed programming, assessed by >60% completion rate of all three modules.
Online module content will focus on topics such as:
- Shared Responsibility of Feeding:
- Parent Provides, Child Decides
- Family Mealtimes
- Hunger and Fullness
- Avoiding use of controlling feeding practices
- Conditions
- Feeding Behavior
- Being tested
- Online Modules
- Medical subject headings
