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.

Study Overview

• Status: Withdrawn
• Conditions: Feeding Behavior
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Online Modules

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.
