About the study
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine feasibility and acceptability of a digitally-based obesity prevention intervention for mothers of infants participating in a home visitation program.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What impact does the digitally based obesity prevention intervention for parents have on children's weight? * What impact does the digitally based obesity prevention intervention have on mothers' feeding practices, child sleep, and child screen time? Researchers will compare the digital intervention to home visiting standard curriculum to see if the intervention results in larger improvements.
Participants will view several digital modules including videos on feeding, activity and family topics over the course of 1 year. They will complete questionnaires at the beginning of the study and again at 4, 6 and 12 months and their child will be weighed and measured at each time point.
