Summary

This trial will evaluate a healthy eating and weight gain prevention intervention for delivery through calls to the 2-1-1 number.

Detailed description

It is now well-established that obesity and excess weight increase the risk of cancer (i.e., colorectal and post-menopausal breast cancer), as well as other chronic diseases including diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and arthritis. The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research state "maintenance of a healthy weight throughout life may be one of the most important ways to protect against cancer". Unfortunately, adults generally gain weight as they age. Healthy Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention involves a tailored home environment profile and a health coach working with participants to select and implement a series of healthy actions to create a home environment more supportive of healthy eating and physical activity. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 2-1-1 as the 3-digit number to call for information and referrals to social services and other assistance in the United States. This study will evaluate a healthy eating and weight gain prevention intervention for delivery through 2-1-1 calls.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Health Homes/Healthy Families (HH/HF) Intervention	The HH/HF Intervention involves coaching calls, text messages and intervention materials that are designed to increase behavioral capability, self-efficacy and behavioral intention to improve the home food environment for healthy eating and weight gain prevention. The intervention is delivered over a 12 week period.
BEHAVIORAL	Control	Participants in the control condition will receive two mailings on healthy eating, the first from the "Dietary Guidelines For Americans 2015-2020, 8th Edition" and the second from "Choose MyPlate". Additionally, both mailings will include a food diary from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mailings will be sent to participants one and six-weeks post-baseline. These materials focus on the same dietary outcomes being targeted in the HH/HF intervention, but without the home environment emphasis. Control group participants will receive their home environment profile with a list of healthy actions upon completion of the study.
